Architect Notes.
Jekel & Co., architects, 1001 Chestnut street,
have made plans for a four-story flat house to
be erected in the vicinity of Thirty-fourth
and Baring streets, to be of brick, stone and
iron construction with all the latest and best
comforts and conveniences.
Wilson Brothers & Co., Drexel Building,
are working on a large brick and stone rail¬
road station to be built at Noyle, Pa., for the
Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company.
It is to be two stories, but the architects de¬
cline to give any details at this time.
Architect A. B. Taylor has awarded a
contract to Lewis Ahlers for a three-story
and basement face brick and stone trimmed
residence, which will be built for A. H. Boyer,
at 1284 Bridge street. It will measure 16x60
feet, have the usual conveniences, and is to
cost $4000,
Plans have been completed for the new bar¬
racks, the hospital and crematory buildings
w hich are to be provided at Marcus Hook for
the State Quarantine Board. Details are
under way by Architect J. M. McMichael.
This work has been noted in provious issues
of this paper.
The Atlantic County Board of Chosen Free¬
holders will open estimates the current week
for a highway drawbridge 335 feet long, to be
constructed from plans by J. J. Albertson.
Separate bids will be considered for the sub¬
structure and superstructure and details are
in the hands of M. L. Jackson, at Hammontou,
N. J.
The necessary permit for extensive altera¬
tions and additions at 127 South Twelfth
street, for W. H. Frazier, owner, was granted
to Contractor W. R. Dougherty last week.
This will include a new front and rear addi¬
tions, 20x48 aud 16x11 feet. The estimated
cost of the work is $11,000. Architects Fur¬
ness, Evans & Co., Provident Life Building,
made the plans.
Architect Harold F. Adams, Law Building,
Atlantic City, N. J , has closed contracts with
Builder Wilbur F. Beaumont, of the same
place, to erect the new five-story and base¬
ment stone, brick and iron framed apartment
house which will be built at Delaware and
Atlantic avenues for the Reed Apartment
House and Investment Company. The latest
appointments will be provided, and all sub¬
contracts are in the hands of the general con¬
tractor.
Architect Louis C. Hickman, 328 Chestnut
street, will ask bids for the improvements to
the old Merchants’ Exchange building, which
the Stock Exchange is to occupy, in about a
month. He is also making plans for fitting
up several old buildings on Cherry street
above Thirteenth, as a temporary office and
warehouse for William F. Potts, Son & Co.
In time it is proposed to build an eight-story
structure on the [site, which measures 80 by
148 feet.
Contractors J. E. & A. L. Pennock have
secured a permit to build the $60,000 storage
warehouse on the east side of Sophia street,
between Edward and Lydia streets, for C.
Schmidt & Sons. The new building will be
three stories high, with a basement, and it
will measure 49.8 x 123.11 feet. It will have
a brick front and be constructed of steel with
fireproof floors. Architect Otto C. Wolf, 1345
Arch street, made the plans.
Detailed plans and specifications have been
completed by Architects Hales & Ballinger,
1200 Chestnut street, for interior alterations
of an extensive character which will be made
to the Dwight Fuller Building, at 10 South
Eighteenth street. Bids are wanted by
Builders Machin& Brown, 147 North Seventh
street, on brick, stone and concrete work,
plastering, painting, plumbing, lighting,
heating, hardware and other lines of materials
and all estimates must be in by January 10.
The contract for alterations to Joseph S.
Vetterlein’s residence at Wayne, was last
week awarded to M. P. Wells & Co.,
Crozer Building, by Architect and Engineer
George Plowman. The addition will be two
stories high with an attic, and it will
measure 45 x 23 feet. It will be constructed
of stone and brick. The first floor will con¬
tain a dining-room, servants’ pantry, hall
and kitchen; second, billiard room and bed¬
rooms and bedrooms on the third floor; cost of
the work is about $10,000.
F. H. Drake & Co , Drexel Building, have
drawn extensive plans for a new electric rail¬
way which will be constructed from Elkton
to Chesapeake City, Md., for the Elkton,
Cherry Hill and Chesapeake City Railroad
Company, of which John M. Kennedy, of
this city, is president. This work will em¬
brace the erection of large ^ar barns and a big
power house which are to be located at
Chesapeake City. They will have all up-to-
date power equipment, and estimates on this
will be wanted in a very short time.
Mr. Dephek, President of the Common-
i wealth Trust Company, states that no archi¬
tect has been selected for the new building,
but that the company has decided to have
five or six first-class men to submit designs of
a competitive nature which will be carefully
gone over and from which an architect will be
selected. Prizes of various sums will be offer¬
ed to those competing, thereby offering re¬
muneration to those who might otherwise
spend time and money and yet prove unsuc¬
cessful. In all probability no decision will be
made until early spring.
Architect J. J. Deery, Betz Building, is
working on plans for a large double-tracked
railroad bridge which is to be constructed
over the Schuylkill river at Reading, Pa., for
the Reading Warehouse and Bridge Com¬
pany, The structure is to be of steel and will
be more than 2000 feet long. In the same
architect’s office plans are under way for the
erection of a large six-story brick and iron
frame warehouse to be erected at Reading for
the same company. The measurement will
be about 360 to 80 feet. The foundations will
be stone and concrete, and the building will
be fireproof.
An effort is being make to influence the
New Jersey Legislature to pass an act provid¬
ing for the licensing of architects. The New
Jersey Society of Architects is at the head of
the movement. If the bill becomes a law it
will be followed by another prohibiting con¬
struction work unless done under the super¬
vision of a licensed architect and the prob¬
abilities are that licenses will be issued only
to those who have passed a rigid examination .
There is no doubt but that a similar effort
will be made in Pennsylvania during the
present session of its Legislature. It is time
enough, however, to cross a bridge when we
get to it.
Competitive plans are to be examined the
present week by the Building Commission
for the new State building which is to be
constructed at Annapolis, Md., at an esti¬
mated cost of $250,000. The design will be
classic and the main structure will be of
marble and Indiana limestone, and indirect
system of heating will be provided, also elec¬
tric wiring, decorative work and other im¬
provements. Provision will be made for a
handsomely finished room for the Court of
Appeals, libraries, treasurers’ rooms, Comp--
troller’s offices, tax and other offices. George
R. Gaither, Equitable Building, Baltimore,
Md., is secretary of the Building Commission.
Architects Baker & Dallett, Crozer Build-
iug, 1420 Chestnut street, sent out plans and
specifications for a five-story building, to be
erected at the southeast corner of Seventeenth
street and Fairmount avenue for Messrs.
A. F. Bornot & Bro. The old structures now
on the site will be torn down and a buiiding
with a basement under some portions of it
will be built. The new structure will be con¬
structed of steel frame, with brick walls car¬
ried at each floor. Heating and ventilating,
plumbing and drainage, electric light wiring
and elevators and elevator inclosures are re¬
served. The materials provided for in the
specifications include brick work, concrete,
cement and mortar floors, brownstone and
granite, carpenter work and lumber, excavat¬
ing, fireproof floors, hardware, iron stairs,
cast and ornamental iron work, masonry,
millwork, plastering, painting and glazing,
slag looting and sheet metal work, and struc¬
tural steel work. The following builders are
receiving sub-bids for the work: George L.
Sipps, 212 South Seyenth street; Porter
Thompson & Sons, Betz Building; Doyle &
Doak, 1509 Sansom street; Benjamin Ket-
cham’s Sons, 1029 Brown street; Philip Hai-
bach, 2530 Thompson street, and A. Raymond
Raff, 1235 Thomson street.

PHILADELPHIA, WKD’Y, JAN. 2, 1901.
Our Sixteenth Year.
With the new century the Philadelphia
Real Estate Record enters its sixteenth year
of publication.
It has honestly endeavored to be useful as
well as reliable. With a natural detestatiou
for shams and subterfuges its aim has been to
justly merit the respect and confidence of its
patrons and readers. Its scope of usefulness,
confined as it is through its character as a
business journal, it has refrained from giving
full vent to its feeling-5 and sentiments on
political and other matters affecting the
common weal.
The Real Estate Record is justly proud of
its identification with a business interest sec¬
ond in importance to none.
The home builders of Philadelphia, while
compelled to measure their vocation through
the cold analysis of the profit and loss account
in which there is little room for seutiment or
sophistry, have solved the problems of
sociology in a manner so thoroughly practical
that demonstrations in most exemplary form
is visible in everyone of the 258,000 dwelling
houses in this city, the most of which are
inviting, clean and healthful homes of a
thrifty and contented people, who know more
of the true meaning of home and home com¬
forts than the people of any other city on the
globe.
The work of the future will be no child’s
play, for all there is in the best of us will be
necessary to keep pace with the progress of
the times, for no man is capable of prophesy¬
ing the strides of development and evolution
which will surely come.
America is at the head of the procession of
nations. Its natural resources are only be¬
coming known, and the American, for the
first time, is gettiug acquainted with himself
in the sense of his ability to make conditions
for the rest of the world.
N. & G. Taylor Co.'s New Tin Plate Mill
Cumberland, Maryland, is joyous over the
new iron mill for the manufacture of black
plates which the N. & G. Taylor Company, of
this city, is to have erected at that place. This
black plate mill plant when completed will
insure the N. & G. Taylor Company a full
supply of black plates, the tinning of which
will be done at its tin plate works in Phila¬
delphia.
N. & G. Taylor Company, it will be remem¬
bered, was the first concern to commence the
manufacture of American roofing plates under
the McKinley bill, and from a small begin-
ing its plant has been extended until no\v the
tinning process alone requires twenty-five
tinning stacks. And this work is all done
right here in Philadelphia.
Taylor’s old style roofing tin is, of course,
the essential factor in the necessity for the
new black plate plant at Cumberland, Md.
Its popularity among roofers and owners of
property has reached such a point as to re¬
quire almost an unlimited supply of the
proper quality of black plates when needed.
“Taylor’s Old Style” has been a favorite
since 1880, and it is only through the greatest
care and attention in the manufacture of its
black plate as well as in the tinning that its
high standard of excellence can be main¬
tained. The firm of IN. & G. Taylor was es¬
tablished in 1810 -it will soon be a hundred
years old.
The JELna Insurance Company.
We are indebted to Messrs Durban & Co.,
403 Walnut street, Philadelphia agents for the
old iEtna Insurance Company of Hartford,
Conn., for several of the company’s calen¬
dars.
In connection with the lEtua we clip the
following from the United States Review,
which will be of interest to the local patrons,
of that company:
“We know it will be good news to the
street to learn that George Y. Shermer and
Thomas E. Stenger, two of the popular men
connected with the office of Edward J. Dur¬
ban, have been given a partnership interest
in the agency which will hereafter be con¬
tinued as Durban & Co. We do not doubt
for a moment that there are some w'ho will
think it was but luck that Dame Fortune
smiled on these men, but we have noticed
for years that the iEtna office was one where
the oil burned the latest— long after many
other offices wore dark. These men did the
work, and their promotion was but. the re¬
ward of merit.”
The Eire Association.
This old Philadelphia company, whose
stock is quoted among the fancies, has a
calendar this year entirely free from other
embellishments than a strong self-assertive
announcement of the company’s name and
ownership at its head so bold and striking,
indeed, that they who run may read Fire
Association of Philadelphia, office 407 and
409 Walnut street, and not forget it, either.
“ The Cooking Class A New Cal¬
endar for 1QOT.
Seven little tots, white-aproned, with heads
bent over cookbooks, or bright eyes intent
upon their pretty teacher’s demonstration of
gas cooking— this is The United Gas Im¬
provement Company’s calendar for the twen¬
tieth century. It is quite different from the
calendars of other years, though, like them,
designed to show the advantages of cooking
with gas.
Teacher and pupils, dainty and neat, sug¬
gest convincingly the cleanliness and conven¬
ience of this modern fuel A pan of cro¬
quettes, “done to a turn,” and a turkey
browning in the oven show the efficiency.
The calendar, while clear and distinct, is
not large enough to interfere with the picture,
but forms an appropriate finish to the oddly-
shaped outline. The whole is lithographed
in eleven colors and gold, producing the rich
effect of a painting.
Copies will be distribued free, at all the
company’s offices, after the first of the year,
and it is safe to say that the immense edition
will be none too many for the admirers of
this unusually attractive calendar.
City's Fire Toss in igoo.
During the first six months of the present
year the property destruction by fire was
greater than for any corresponding period in
the city’s history. The total amount paid to
the companies in premiums was §4,250,000,
which is slightly in excess of the amounts
paid out in adjustments, but the expenses of
conducting the companies when deducted
from the premiums received leaves a balance
on the wrong side of the ledger.
The total losses for the present year with
the figures for this month estimated, are $3,-
413,335, an increase of about $100,000 over 1899.
In February, March and April the greatest
losses wore sustained, the amount being $2,-
214,187. These fires occurred in the dry goods
district.
The Liverpool and London and Globe.
With an over-weening modesty Mr. At¬
wood Smith, 333-337 Walnut street, the Phila¬
delphia agent for the Liverpool and London
and Globe Insurance Company, of England,
presents a calendar for 1901 from which no
one could possibly form a proper idea of the
real strength of the company nor its im¬
portance in fire insurance circles.
While the calendar is in every way prac¬
tical and useful, it says nothing of the com¬
pany’s immense capital or resources.
It is a business man’s calendar in every
sense and just the thing for the office or
counting room.
The necessary figures to complete our Re¬
port of building operations and transfers of
real estate for 1900 in its entirety could not be
procured for this issue. The report will appear
in our issue of the 9th instant.
Architect Note.
Architects Field & Lawnton, of Brooklyn,
N.Y., have completed plans which are on the
boards in the office of Phillip Anns Company,
at 1001 Chestnut street, for estimates on a new
and handsome hotel, to be erected at Lake¬
wood for private parties It will be four
stories and basement, of fancy brick with
electrical fixtures, call bells, speakiug tubes,
steam heating and ventilating, tile baths,
pantry, laundry, and other conveniences, and
is figured to cost nearly $50,000. Anns & Co.
have received the general contract for build¬
ing the residence of John Hawkins, to be
erected at Allenhurst, N. J., plans for which
were made by Brouse & Arend, of this city
and Trenton.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests..
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of th is section .
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and shipj ards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Hardware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is just
now cutting a wider swath than all the Royal
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And you will use no other.

Messes. Henry G. Schultz & Son, car¬
penters, builders and contractors, have kindly
sent to our office the firm’s calendar for 1901.
The Equitable Trust Company has declared
its usual semi-annual dividend of $2 per share
(at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, payable
on February 1. The annual statement of the
company shows a paid-in capital of $500,000,
with a surplus and undivided profits amount¬
ing to $336,707.82.
Northern Trust & Saving Fund Co.’s
k tatement.
The annual statement of the Northern Sav¬
ing Fund and Trust Company, Sixth and
Spring Garden streets, is presented in this
issue. The company in its detailed statement
of its assets consisting of railroad and other
bonds, real estate mortgage loans, time loans,
collateral demand loans, deposits, etc , shows
that these amount to $5,596,600.14, while its
deposits amount to $4,559,960.23. Surplus,
$500,000.00. Undivided profits and dividends,
$36,639.91.
W. Frederick Snyder is the president and
Horace B. Pearson, secretary and treasurer.
The Mechanics’ Insurance Co.’s Cal¬
endar.
With the self same superior business judge¬
ment which guides and directs the affairs of
the Mechanic’s Insurance Company, Fifth
and Walnut streets, Mr. Simon Martin, its
president, makes his selection of a yearly cal¬
endar for his company which is a standard
in color, design and usefulness.
The Sundays and holidays are in red ink,
and each red ink figure is properly designated,
and if a holiday its name is given.
This is certainly carrying the degree of
practical usefulness to a point which repre¬
sents all that there is in a calendar for 1901.
The American Fire Insurance Co.’s
Calendar.
For 1901 this old and reliable Philadelphia
insurance company remains loyal to the style
for its yearly calendar it adopted years ago
with the motto ‘ ‘An American Flag for Am¬
erican Insurers.” And while the flag with
with its graceful folds and field of gold stars,
and strips* of red and white, is the bright
catchy, pleasing feature of the calendar, the
company’s title and address are not in the
least eclipsed, for the flag has been associated
with the American Fire so many years that
it would seem strange if it was omitted.
Mr. Thomas H. Montgomery is the presi¬
dent of the American Fire, and Mr. Richard
Maris, secretary and treasurer.
“Seen and Heard”
Is a new weekly booklet publication issued
by Mr. Louis Megargee, formerly one of the
editors of the Philadelphia Times.
Megargee’s column of “Seen and Heard”
was an important feature of the Times for
years, and his present adventure should easily
become a paying one.
There is only one Megargee as there was
only one John Russell Young, and while
Young has gone to his fathers Megargee still
holds the Fort as a master of English, as
well as one of the most versatile and interest¬
ing writers in Philadelphia journalism.
“Seen and Heard” costs only $2 per year or
$1 for six months, and it would be cheap at
double the price. Address P. O. box 1362,
Philadelphia.

(COMPLETE)
Building Construction for the Bntire
Year Includes
THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED
AND NIN ETY= NINE New Buildings of
all kinds , Representing an Invest=
ment of $ 1 5,299,886, Exclusive of
the Cost of the Land, a Falling off
from 1899 of 478 New Build=
ings and $673,960 in the
Amount Invested.
2201 Alteiations and Additions, Cost =
ing $3,30 1 ,500 — 688 less of these in
1900 than in 1899, While the •
Amount Expended was $1,=
032,000 Less than in
1899.
Total Expenditures for Buildings and
Alterations and Additions $18,601,=
386 Against $20,307,346
in 1899.
It will be gratifying to those who have constantly
complained of the superabundance pf dwellings, to
learn that the shrinkage in construction work last year,
while only about a third of what it was in 1899, is of
sufficient importance fveu if it becomes no greater to
soon create a scarcity of dwellings in this rapidly
growing city.
1 e have a record of building construction, showing
that there were 478 less new buildings erected last year
than in 1899, and that the investment was also $673,960
le-s.
In our report of construction wo k for 1899, we showed
that when compared with 1898, that there had been a
falling off of 1476 in the number of new buildings and
that the investment was $2,207,064 less than in 1898.
Xne shrinkage last year, while a trifle over a third of
what it was in 1899, will go a great ways tow >rds solv¬
ing the “catching up” process which many persons,
seriously think will prove the panacea for our present
real estate difficulties.
The records of former years are always interesting,
particularly in operation work, consisting of two and
three-story dwellings.
From the following table it will be an easy matter lo
compute the yearly changes in this branch of work
since 1887, and we give it for that purpose.

Indeed, it would seem that after having b i It 89,601
houses in 14 years for people to live in, that the super¬
abundance would be even more apparent than it is for
on the basi" of five to a family and with but a single
family to a dwelling the. e is ample provision for $448,-
000 people, all of whom would be able to live in the
decent Phi adelphia way of living.
Of course, at ihe first glance it would seem that the
erection of dwellings has been altogether out of reas 11,
but if one keeps in mind that the latio of in lease in
population has been about 2s per cent, for each of the
census taken in 20 years, there is nothing unreasonable
or alarming in the proposition.
In 1900 there were over 11,400 marriages in Phila¬
delphia, or over 11,400 couples who should commence
housekeeping.
This influence together with that arising from the
present rate of immigration to the country, of which
so long as our mills and factories keep goin •• , we are
bound to obtain a liberal share, will, we think, soon
settle the empty house question so far as two and three-
story dwellings are concerned.
Small store propel ties and large and expensive dwell¬
ings are controlled by different influences, for the
former must continue to suffer so long as the depart¬
ment stores control the situation, while th~ la ter wi.l
continue to pay the penalty of the present suburban
fad as well as the prefeience housekeepers have for
small compact modern homes.
It will be noticed that alterations and additions and
our tables only embrace those requiring a building
permit and which amount to $200 and over, numbered
2201 last year against 2889 for 1899. here is a falling off in
these of 688, and the expenditure for these improve¬
ments is 11,032,000 less than in 1899.
This item in the building record for 1900 cannot be
accounted for unless through the influence of the strike
and the increased cost of contract work of this nature,
and yet one would suppose that a revival of business
and a consequent increased demand for dwellings and
business places would have at least overcome these » s
well as any influence the election might have had.
The industrial buildings erected last year weie 141 or
8 more than in 1899. There were 2 more warehouses, 3
moie dye and dry house- , 11 less factories, 4 less engine
: and boiler houses, 1 less brewery and bottling house, 7
more foundries and shops, and 12 more stores.
The yearly changes in construction work of this char¬
acter can be followed through our table.

A perusal of our tables will show that last year two-
story dwellings were 470 short of the number erected in
1899, while three-story dwellings were only 23 short of
the 1899 record. It will also be seen that operation
work, two and three-story dwellings, aud stores and
dwellings, is responsible for $1,027,400 of the entire
shrinkage from the figures of 1899, of this amount
$940,000 is traced to the loss in two-story dwellings and
$87,400 to the three-story.
There were 12,160 transfers of real estate last year
against 11,950 in 1899, a gain of 210. The value of the
properties transferred last year was $62,752,733.57, while
in 1899 the properties transferred were valued at
$63,835,684.67, a difference of $1,082,951.10 in favor of 1899.
The mortgage incumbrance on the propert’es trans¬
ferred in 1900 amounted to $24,662,022.52 01-39.3 per cent,
in 1899 the percentage of mortgage incumbrance was 39
per cent, in 1898 it was 36.4 per cent, in 1897 38.8 per cent,
in 1896 34.7 per cent.
The ground rents on the properties transferred last
year amounted to $547, 855.03, [which on a 6 per cent basis
represent a further incumbrance of $9,130,917.16. .
The sales of real estate at auction last year amounted
to $3,211,382.07. The mortgage incumbrance on the prop¬
erties sold was $26,900.00; the ground rents amounted
to $2,734.46.

The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section.
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and shipyards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Hardware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is just
now cutting a wider swath than all the Royal
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And y ou will use no other.

the city, costing about $17,000,000 instead of
$12,000,000, are presented in shape to the
Mayor by Jno. W. Hill, expert engineer of
Cincinnati, Ohio, in an estimate just made.
Mr. Hill also says that the completion of the
scheme as now proposed will in the end cost
the enormous sum of $27,000,000, and once
started will have to be kept up by annual ap¬
propriations. Of course the $12,000,000 loan
will first be exhausted m contracts before any
new work will be introduced to councils and
the public for approval.

The Philadelphia Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, has undertakeu to raise
money to build a club house for soldiers in
Manila, to cost $10,000 to $15,000. It is urged
that there is great need of such work, and the
plan contemplates a library, reading room,
gymnasium, coffee room, etc. The ladies
having the affair in hand have issued an
urgent appeal to all Americans to contribute
towards this praise-worthy object. Their
names are : Ella Wain Harrison, Mary B. H.
Williams and Sarah Morris Ogden. The latter
is treasurer, and funds should be sent to her
address at Riverton, N. J.
The Hammonton, N. J., Gas Company was
organized at that place on December 29, 1900,
with an authorized capital of $100,000. With
a capital of $4000 paid in the company asked
Council to grant them a franchise to lay gas
mains for the distribution of illuminating
gas. The Board of Directors elected were
William H. Bernshouse, William Berns-
house, Harry M. Little, Joseph C. Johnson,
A. W. V. Setley, George E. Chalfont, Samuel
Anderson, Charles Monfort, George King,
Robert Steel and Wilbur R. Tilton. Officers
will be elected this week. The parties inter¬
ested are all Hammonton people, and there is
no doubt but what the franchise will be
granted. Two companies are competing for
a franchise to lay water mains and erect water
works for the town.
In the Congressional estimates for work at
the Philadelphia NavyYard for the coming fis¬
cal year beginning July 1st, 1901, will be found
$700,000, which is at the present time contem¬
plated to cover all items. Quite a number
were stricken out of the original estimate. Of
these reductions $854,500 are in projects alto¬
gether disallowed as follows : Installation of a
heat, light and power system, $60,000 ; bar¬
racks for enlisted men, $100,000; torpedo boat
storage plant, $100,000, and saw mill for con¬
struction and repair, $94,500. This leaves
about $50,000 to be taken off all the other
items recommended for League Island. The
bill will also make an appropriation of $56,000
for a naval magazine aud shell house at Fort
Mifflin as recommended by the department,
There will undoubtedly be a strong effort
made in the full committee to have the item
of $100,000 for barracks for enlisted men put
in the bill. This improvement is very much
needed and is especially recommended by
Admiral Crowninshield, of the Bureau of
Navigation. He appeared before the com¬
mittee last month and made a strong plea for
the erection of barricks both at the New York
and Philadelphia yards. The necessities of
the service demand them. As to League
Island, Admiral Crowninshield said it is the
most desirable place along the Atlautic coast,
as it is a point where vessels are laid up.

The Ridgway Refrigerator Company, E. B.
Atkins, manager, have removed their office
and salesroom to 705-07 North Broad street,
and factory to 325 27 C herry street.
We are indebted to the Lesley & Trinkle
Company, 22-24 S. Fifteenth street, for a
beautifully illuminated cameo desk calendar
for 1901. While the calendar is intended as a
constant reminder of the sterling qualities of
“Giant Portland Cement” and “Union”
Natural Cement, it is unique from its artis¬
tic imitation of a finely cut cameo of a high
type and really as beautiful in both coloring
and effect as the finest Italian production.
The present population of the United States
has been very considerably enlarged as a result
of the annexation, cession and purchase of
islands. The following estimates are furnish¬
ed by the Census Office:
United States . 76,295,220
Porto Rico . 953,243
Philippine Islands . 7,000,000
Guam . ... 8,561
Tutuila and adjacent islands . . . 4,16.5
Total . 84,261,189
The amount of new railway track laid in
the United States during the past year is
placed by the “Railroad Gazette,” of New
York, at 4,804 miles, against 4,569 miles in
1899; and by the “Railway Age,” of Chicago,
at 4,322 miles. Texas leads among the states,
with 313 miles (the “Gazette’s” figures); Iowa
comes next with 279 miles, Minnesota next
with 355, and Pennsylvania fourth with 235.
Massachusetts is credited with four miies of
new track and all New England with only 44
miles. The present amount of new construc¬
tion is nearly double what it was annually
during the recent depression, but far below
the high record reached in 1887, when over
12,000 miles of new steam track were con¬
tracted . —E xchange.
The gifts and bequests for public purposes
in 1900 have been tabulated so far as they
could be ascertained and amount to $62 461,-
304, of which $35,000,000 went to educational
institutions. Of the remaining $27,000,000 a
littlemorfe than one-half went to charities, and
nearly $9,000,000 to churches. The balance of
$5,000,000 went to museums, art galleries.
The largest public giver of the year was
Andrew Carnegie, his benefactions footing up
$4,225,000, of which all but $625,000 went to
Pittsburg’s institute and library. The next
largest public benefactors were Samuel Cup-
pies and R. A. Brookings, of St. Louis, who
gave $5,000,000 to Washington University.
But the list of .these public givers of millions
includes less than 20 names and is not a long
one, when the number of our multi-million¬
aires is considered.— Exchange.

H. D. Heller said it was a trifle less than the
money available, which is but $3,500.
The Martindale & Co. stores to be erected at
Market and Tenth streets, northeast corner,
and extending from 939 Market to Hunter
street in the rear, will likely be under way iu
the early spring. At the present time no ar¬
chitectural plans have been made, nor have
any of the minor details been arranged. The
improvement will be a very creditable one aud
enhance the value of all the surroundings.
The State Quarantine Board held a meeting
on the 9th inst. to consider the bids on the
work of constructing the new barracks, crema¬
tory and hospital building to be erected at
Marcus Hook on the Delaware river. The
board were bound to reject all the bids as the
amounts were in excess of the appropriation,
the sum being only $3500 and the structures
indicated by the specifications and bids made
entailed an expenditure of from $7000 to $8000.
The Committee on Property, of the Board
of Education, on the 14th inst. awarded a
contract to Peoples & Welsh, southwest cor¬
ner Seventieth street and Woodland avenue,
to erect the new school house at Eighty-
second street and Tinicum avenue at $29,412.
At same meeting, J. Bennett Colesberry was
appointed inspector of public buildings for
this city. The plans for the school house
were made under supervision of J. Horace
Cook, and have been fully noted in these
columns.
A movement is on foot by the business men
of the southern section of tne city to abolish
the old Lebanon cemetery at Nineteenth
street and Passyunk avenue. This is agitated
for the purpose of enhancing the advantage of
building lots and blocks of ground in the im¬
mediate vicinity. General Louis Wagner, of
the Board of City Trust, says that if the streets
proposed as above are cut through the Girard
estate will be improved by the erection of a
great number of fine dwellings along each line,
as the estate covers more than a mile square
in that location.
Plans and specifications for the new fire
service pipes and appliances to be placed in
the central fire district, of this city, embrac¬
ing the area between Walnut, Race and Broad
streets and on the east by Deleware avenue,
have been completed, and proposals are to be
asked at once on the work. Director of Public
Works Haddock will have the matter in
charge and has on hand an appropriation of
$300,000 to make the start. Work will em¬
brace pipe lines and masonry, excavation,
plumbing and general detail work.
Councils and the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad Co. have arranged the matter of con¬
structing the new elevated road beginning at
Spring Garden street and ending at Hunting¬
don Street Station, a distance of about two
miles. The city will pay all the cost but
$1,500,000, which falls upon the railroad com¬
pany. The work will consist of masonry and
filling iu, principally The cost of the work
is approximated at $8,342,763. Plans are now
complete, and action upon a proposed loan
bill by City Councils of $9,000,000 is the only
obstacle in the way of a start.
Builder James J. Allen, 127 W. Washington
Lane, Germantown, will at once begin work
on ninety dwellings for Thomas Marshal],
of Swarthmore, Pa., as owner, on the west
side of Fifty-ninth street, between Market and
Chestnut streets, and east and west sides of
Sixtieth street, between the same streets ; also
on the north and south sides of Market street,
between Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets. All
are to be of faced brick, two stories high, stone
trimmings, and interiors will contain heaters,
ranges, boilers, tile work, best plumbing and
modern conveniences.
The Board of Surveyors of the city held a
meeting on the 9th inst. and heard the request
of a large number of capitalists and other citi¬
zens, as well as a number of City Councilmen
in regard to the feasability of revising the lines
and grades of the district bounded by Cayuga,
Wingohocking, Eighth street and North Penn
Railroad. It may be said that the entire body
of Surveyors argue that it ought to be done.
James Barker and many others announce
their intentions to erect a large number of fac¬
tories and other buildings if the facilities
noted above are granted.
A special committee, with Generai Louis
Waguer as president, and George W. Ken¬
drick, Jr., Stockton Bates, William McIn¬
tyre and Charles Maxwell were elected to take
action in conformity with a resolution passed
recently by the Grand Lodge of Masons, look¬
ing toward the establishment of a Masonic
Orphanage, to be in equipment and erection
the finest institution of the kind in this
country. The committee has the power to
proceed with the plans and will, in a short
time, take action in regard to the character of
a building needed for the purpose.
Engineers and architects of the New York
Central Railroad have made plans for a lot of
buildings to be erected at Albany, N. Y., for
that company, and the drawings can be seen
iu the office of Ryan & Kelly, contractors, 8
South Broad street. These contemplate four
office buildings, two large engine houses,
boiler house, shop and trestle work, double
track for twenty five great coal pockets. Bids
are wanted on materials, steam heat, electrical
work, cement work, tile work, slate, concrete,
brick, stone and iron' work, and close by January
31st. In the same office are plans tor a large
pier for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to be
erected at Spring Garden, Baltimore, Md.
Materials will be steel and masonry 817x130
feet. A steel shed will also be erected 43 feet
high.
After being laid over for more than a year
the plans for the large seven-story warehouse,
stable and manufactory for Straw bridge &
Clothier on Race, above Eighth street, are
about to be put into practical effect. Stacey
Reeves & Sons, general contractors, 1611 Fil¬
bert street, will construct the building, and the
drawings were made at the time indicated
above by Gilbert & Reid, architects, 1420
Chestnut street. It will be seven stories high,
121x121 feet and occupy the site 812 to 820
south side of Race street. The materials will
include brick, stone and iron to a great ex¬
tent, fitted with electric work, steam heat
and power, elevators and lifts for freight,
plumbing, gas fitting, plate and common
glass windows, cement and grout work in
foundations. All the latest and best conven¬
iences will be introduced and work to start at
once.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
spend more than $5,000,000 this year on im¬
provements on its main line and on the Phila¬
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore and
United Railroad Companies of New Jersey
divisions. A great deal of work will be
done in the East, and it is believed some
progress will be made on the change of line in
AVashington. The present bill, outside of the
amendment which requires the compauy to
build a $1,500,000 station is satisfactory to the
officers of the company, and it is said the com¬
mittee having the bill in charge is willing to
have this amendment stricken out. On the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore di¬
vision, in all likelihood, work will be begun
on the elimination of grade crossings through
Wilmington, and the erection of a new station
iu that city. The principal work on the
New York division will be the improvements
at Greenville, N. J. It is the intention to
spend about $300,000 on this property, but it
is thought it will not all be authorized this
year. There will, in all probability, be an
elevated road through Newark, and changes
made in the line at Trenton and Morrisville
which will necessitate the moving of the Dela¬
ware bridge. Chief Engineer William H.
Brown, for the company, has asked for bids
for the following work : Change of line at
three points between Florin and Rheems
Stations on Philadelphia division, Pennsyl¬
vania Railroad ; additional tracks between
Juniata Bridge and Aqueduct Station on
Middie division ; change of line and addi¬
tional tracks in Lewistown Narrows on
Middle division ; additional tracks be¬
tween Mount Union and Mill Creek on Mid¬
dle division ; additional tracks between Spruce
Creek and Union Furnace on Middle division ;
four-track roadbed between Larimer and
Stewart on Pittsburg division. This work in¬
cludes 1,432,000 cubic yards of masonry, 100,-
000 cubic yards of embankment, 22,000 cubic
yards of masonry and 25.000 cubic yards of
rip-rap. Proposals must be received at the
engineer’s office January 28.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing-
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section.
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and ship} ards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Haidware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is jii'-t
now cutting a wider swath than all the Royal
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And you will use no other.

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, JAN. 23, 1901.
A Proposed Check on Real Estate
Jobbeiy. Philadelphia Ledger.
A reform of great importance was recently
proposed in the Board of Aldermen of Boston,
whichmight profitably be taken up and adopt¬
ed by every city in the country. The purpose
is to prevent Boston from having to pay exor¬
bitant prices for land which it may Oesire to
take for public use. To accomplish this it is
proposed to ask the Legislature of Massachu¬
setts to authorize Boston, when it needs land,
to take it by right of eminent domain, provid¬
ed that no such land shall be taken by purchase
when the price named exceeds the tax valu¬
ation by more than 40 per cent. If the State
authorities enact such a law, the city of Boston
will thereafter probably be the richer by many
thousands of dollars annually. In demon¬
strating the neod of such an act, it has been
pointed out that the city has often been com¬
pelled to pay for property two and three times
its assessed valuation, and one instance is cited
where $200,000 was paid for land which had
been assessed at about $30,000.
There is probably no instance on record in
this city where nearly seven times the assessed
valuation of a property has had to be paid,
nevertheless, the municipality is regularly
mulcted. Within the last few weeks tbe city
was expected to pay $2500 for a lot assessed at
$600; in another instance $8000 was demanded
for a property assessed at $2500. Sometimes
Couneilmen in their zeal to secure a lot for the
city anparently forget, when they prepare the
ordinances of purchase, the amount asked by
the owner. For example, there is a piece of
ground at Thirteenth street and Ridge avenue
valued at $20,000. Two ordinances were intro¬
duced to purchase the plot for park purposes,
one naming $40,000 and the other $41,000 as
the purchase money. Once the city paid $53,-
000 for a piece of ground assessed at $11,500.
Recitals of this character demonstrate the
desirability of some restrictions being placed
on the purchasing power of this eity, similar
to that proposed for Boston. The time is now
favorable for a movement of this kind, the
Legislature being in session It is not likely
that Couucils could be induced to take any
steps iu this direction, because it seems to be
a dominant idea among a large proportion of
the members that, wheD the city desires a
property for public purposes, it is a proper
mark for fleecing. Any efforts to secure legis¬
lative enactment of the character proposed
would have to be through the Municipal
League, or some other similar body. If a law
like that proposed for Boston could be enacted
for this city.it would most likely cause an
appreciable decline of interest on the part of
some Couneilmen in behalf of undesirable lots
for public purposes.
American Fire Staienent .
The ninety-first annual statement of the
American Fire Insurance Company appears
in this issue.
The company, it will be seen, is but a few
years short ofit« one hundredth birthday, and
it is consequently identified with the develop¬
ment and growth of the country almost from
the beginning.
The statement shows a surplus of $247,-
360.42 and a reserve for reinsurance and other
claims of $1,603,605 54. and real estate amount¬
ing to $404,379.50. Mr. Thomas H. Mont¬
gomery, president ; Richard Maris, secretary
and treasurer ; Wm. F. Williams, assistant
secretary, and William B. Kelly, general
manager.

ing, to improve their structure. This work is
about to be pnt into contractors hands for esti¬
mate, and these will be for exterior and inter¬
ior work quite extensive. Noted some six
months ago in this journal. Same archi
tects have made a contract with Machiu
& Brown, contractors, 147 N. Seventh street,
to build the Ford residence at Frankford, and
which has been fully noted previously in
these columns. Same architects have been
retained to make plans for a new post office
building to be erected at Frankford, and
owned by Wm. H. Hunter and Joseph Clark,
of this city. The structure will be 30x80 feet,
and constructed of brick and stone, three
stories high, and interior contain all the best
modern conveniences. Details will be noted
in this journal later.
G. W. and W. D. Hewitt, architects, Bullitt

erected at 1217 Market street, and will be 20x
180 feet of brick, stone and iron work, steam
heat and power, elevators, electric work,
plumbing, glazing, plate glass windows for
bulks. All the latest conveniences will be
1 ovided for. 513-515 Commerce street will also

work in this office will soon be noted.

It is understood a revision of plans will be
made by S. Hudson Vaughn, architect, At¬
lantic City, N. J., for the Fire Station, esti¬
mated on by contractors last week. The bids
are found too high for the appropriation ;
hence the modification of the work.

immediately on improvements to Bischoff’c
paper box factory at 1516 Thompson street, to
cost $850. This will consist of a one-story
brick back addition, 16x26 feet, and a new ad¬

Charles J. Heckler, builder, will at once
begin the work of erecting twenty-five dwell¬
ings at the northwest corner of Roberts and
Wissahickon avenues, at a cost of $38,000. All
of faced brick, stone trimmings, ranges, heat¬
ers, tile work, cement work and all modern
comforts.
Philip Anns Company, 1001 Chestnut street,
want sub-bids on work and materials for an
apartment house to be erected at New York
and Pacific avenues, Atlantic City, for Mrs.
M. 8. Galbraith Plans by S. Hudson Vaug¬
han, architect, of Atlantic City. Noted in full
previously.
Frank S. Riggs, contractor, 1530 Chestnut
street, will take sub-bids on the apartment
house, to be erected at northeast corner Thirty-
sixth and Chestnut streets, from plans by
Milligan & Webber, architects, 520 Walnut
street, and which have been very fully noted
in this journal in previous issues.
Roydhouse, Arey & Company, contractors,
Fidelity Building, Broad street, above Arch
street, have just been awarded a contract to
build an addition to the Bergner & Engle
Brewing Company’s plant on Thirty-second
street, above Master street. It will be of brick,
iron, stone and cement work and cost $4,000.
Builder Henry P. Schneider has closed a
contract with Catbarine Ruffher to build two
two-story brick and brown stone front dwell¬
ings, to cost $2200, at 1701 and 1703 Hunting
Park avenue. Each house will have a front¬
age of 13.6 feet and be 26 feet deep. They will
be built on lots each 13.6x50 feet. Work will
be started at once.
The Link Belt Engineering Company has
closed a contract with Builder Thomas M*
Seeds, Jr., to make alterations to its machine
shop, Nicetown lane and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway, to cost $4000. This
will include excavating in the cellar, under¬
pinning the foundation walls, building new
brick piers and laying new floors.
R. Priesendanz, 19 Market street, Cam len,
is considering the erection of a large carriage
manufacturing plant on the site above noted
The present idea is to erect a three-story brick
building, estimates on which will be taken in
the near future. Mr. Priesendanz has all par¬
ticulars in his personal charge, and can be
seen or addressed at 19 Market street, Cam¬
den.
As previously noted in these columns, action
has been started by the friends of Christ’s P.
F. Church to have it relieved " of the danger
of destruction by fire. An ordinance has been
framed and is now before Councils, asking
for condemnation of surrounding property
and widening of a street on the south of the
old structure. It is likely the bill will pass at
an early day.
Mr. George W. Lynch, Jr , Twenty first
and Westmoreland streets, Philadelphia,
has been awarded the contract to furnish
Fairmbunt Park with T. C. pipe and fittings
on yearly contract, he being the lowestjbidder.
He has also been awarded the contract for T.
C. pipe and fittings for sewerage system at
Fort Mott, New Jersey. Both of these con¬
tracts will require a iarge amount of T. C.
pipe and fittings.
Provost C. C. Harrison, of the University of
Pennsylvania, in this city, makes announce¬
ment that a school building designed for study
of civil engineering would sopn, be started at
that institution. No plans have been made
by an architect, but a consultation with a view
to professional advice is to be had at an early
day. We shall announce further action in
these columns at the proper time.
Jeremiah G. Dohoghue has awarded a con¬
tract to John N. Gill for improvements to
his property, at the northeast corner of Eighth
and Vine streets, to cost $2030. The work
provides for removing the present brick cur¬
tain walls and transoms between the iron
columns, and substituting wooden flush bulk
windows on the Eighth and Vine streets fronts;
removing cellarways outside of the building,
etc. Work will be started at once.
A general move is being made by the Mer¬
cantile Library Association, Tenth street,
above Chestnut street, to either sell or improve
their present quarters. The concensus of
opinion seems to be in favor of the selling, if
possible at an advantage, the building and
ground and purchasing elsewhere a site for a
building that would add very largely to the
revenue of the association'. The matter is held
under consideration by the Board of Directors.
On the 19th inst. fire destroyed quite a num¬
ber of properties beginning with a factory of
Koch & Goldstein, at Sixth and Queen streets,
in which case rebuilding will be necessary.
Also the spice warehouse of H. Read & Com¬
pany, 107 South Water street, being almost
wholly interior, which, we understand, will
be repaired at once. The same night the
stores of C.B. Porter, 120 and 122 North Second
street, was entirely burned and No. 118 was
badly damaged.
In disposing of her estate, which amounts
to $17,000, the will of Elizabeth Hawes, late of
No 2450 North Twenty-sixth street, which
was admitted to probate last week, devises
$2000 to St. Alban’s Church, Ridge and
Fauthorne’s avenues, Roxborough. After
making a few private bequests to relatives,
the testatrix devises the entire residue to the
executors, in trust, to purchase a site and
erect thereon a church building and furnish
the same, in any part of the State of Penn¬
sylvania which the executors select for that
purpose.
The American League Base Ball Asso
ciation, Connie Mack, backer, have selected
the lot at Twenty-ninth and Columbia avenue
on a ten years’ iease, and will at once begin
the erection of grand stands, offices, fences,
gates and main entrance. James Foster,
contractor, of this city, will have the entire
contract and begin work at once. This
means the sale and use of bricks, stone, ce¬
ment, iron and general materials for such
work. Work must be finished for opening of
the season of 1901.
Contractors in general are making bids on
the alterations and additions to be made at
the southwest corner of Eleventh and Walnut
streets for Mr. Austin, the owner. The plans
are by Mr. Edward Hazelhurst, architect,
Girard Building, and were noted some two
weeks ago in these columns. The two prop¬
erties, 1102 and 1104 Waluut street, are to be
fitted up as stores upon first floor and apart¬
ments for the remainder, which will contain
every modern comfort and convenience, steam
heat, electric work, plumbing, gas fitting,
tiling, cement work, etc.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials in this city
signed the ordinance recently passed by the
Newark. N. J., City Council for the elevation
of the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks in that
city, and the ordinance is now in the hatids of
the officials of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey for their signatures. As soon as the
ordinance is signed by the three parties,
the two railroads and the city, work will be
actively begun on the elimination of the grade
crossings. It is understood that it will be at
least six months before traffic over the main
line will be stopped. While the construction
work is in progress, the cut-off' will be used.
Frank S. Riggs, general contractor, has
started to erect the handsome new apartment
house, at the northeast corner of Tenth and
Clinton streets, according to plans prepared
by Architects Milligan & Webber, 520 Walnut
streets. The plans show a seven story and
basement fireproof structure, .115x100 feet,
With fronts of Indiana limestone, terra cotta
and brick. The building will contain 250
rooms, to be divided into suites, with private
bath. It will be fitted up with hard woods,
modern plumbing, heating and lighting
plants, and contain the latest improvements
and equipment for a structure of its character.
Alexander G. Rea is named as the owner in
the application on file at the office of the
Bureau of Building Inspection. The esti¬
mated cost for the construction of the build¬
ing exclusive of the finishings, is $195,000.
Previously noted.
Contractors Arthur H. Williams’ Sous
have the contract to build the new $20,000
apartment house for Samuel H. Austin, at
Nos. 103 and 105 South Eleventh street. The

has also had plans prepared by Architect
Edward Hazelhurst for alterations and addi¬
tions embracing stores and apartments to the
home of the late Dr. William Pancoast and.
the adjoining property, Nos. 1100 and 1102
W aln ut street. The rear portions of the dwell¬
ings will be torn down and a new three-story
building, 58x88 feet, erected, extending to

on the first floor and apartments above. The
Walnut street fronts of the dwellings will be
pulled out and an ornamental front built,
having bay windows and balconies. The in¬
terior will be reconstructed, all of which has
been previously mentioned in these columns.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section.
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and ship) ards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Haidware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is ju-t
now cutting a wider swath than all the Ro> al
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!

Obituary.
Mr. Edw. M. Needles, formerly President
of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. of this
city, died at his home, 1501 Green street, on
Thursday last. Mr. Needles was largely
known in business circles, and was at the
time of his death one of the trustees of the
Penn Mutual, having retired as its president
owing to his advanced age.
Prosperous Progression.
The Penn Mutual Goes To The Front.
“A million a week” was the terse statement
made by President Hairy F. West, of the Penn
Mutual Life, in referring to the new business
of that company during the year 1900. Nat¬
urally he was gratified with it, and made it
clear that even a larger volume could have
been readily obtained had it been desirable.
When questioned he said: “There was no spe¬
cial effort; there is always behind our repre¬
sentatives, who cover the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, the energizing and pro¬
pulsive force of the management. Our vice-
president and his assistants are always alert
to get the fullest results, but no extra induce¬
ments were offered. We were content with
such business as could be had on reasonable
terms and be to the benefit of the entire mem¬
bership.”
The Penn Mutual is known as conservative,
and the progress which it makes from year to
year has been within right lines, none of the
limitations and safeguards of the business be¬
ing disregarded.
While there are many features of the report
which confirm the opinion just expressed,
nothing is more conclusive than an increase in
the surplus, such as is shown by a comparison
with the report of the preceding year. Noting
the payments for death losses and contrasting
their amount with those of the preceding year,
when a smaller volume of insurance was carried
we find an exceptionally favorable mortality.
On this point President West said: “During
the four years, 1896-1899, our mortality was
but 72 per cent, of that for which provision is
made. Last year it was even more favorable,
being but 68 pei cent, of the expected. This is
the result of careful selection, and is due some¬
what, perhaps, to the fact that a large part of
our entire membership has been insured with¬
in a few years.
Coincident with the large increase in mem¬
bership there has been a corresponding addi¬
tion to the premium and interest incomes, the
total income from all sources being $1 0,935,981,-
50, which is a gain of $1,352,812.20. The inter¬
est income for the year was $2, 114,442.85, being
an increase of $165,521, and as usual was fav¬
orable. This amount is in excess of the inter¬
est requirement upon the company’s high
standard of reserve (3J per cent, assumption).
Policy holders or their representatives re¬
ceived during the year the handsome sum of
§4,552,041.76, of which $907,050.50 was allowed
in abatement of the premiums called for by
their policies or accumulated in various funds
for their benefit. The surrender values paid
to withdrawing members amounted to $728,-
286.01. This is a feature of the business which
calls tor special consideration. To many men
there comes a time when money is more need¬
ed than insurance, and they should be so
placed as to make the exchange without loss.
The policies of the Penn Mutual stipulate for
this, as also for loans thereon, when desired.
During the year the company added to the re¬
serve upon policies the sum of $3,732,084, the
total fund now carried for the protection and
benefit of members, exclusive of surplus for se¬
curity and for dividend, being $43,898,149.09.
The assets are safely and prudently invested
under the direction of the Committee on Fi¬
nance in city loans, mortgages and ground
rents, railroad and water bonds, in loans to
policy-holders and on collateral, and in real
estate in use by the company, and purchased
under foreclosure. President West, in speak¬
ing of the policy of the financial department,
says “that its aim has been to so conduct pur¬
chases and sales of securities as to greatly
strengthen and improve the holdings wher¬
ever possible.
After providing adequately for all the pres¬
ent and contingent liabilities, amounting to
$37,859,562, the company has a gross surplus
of $5,745,641.87. A considerable part of this
is prudently carried for security in view of the
possibility of lower interest earnings; which,
as we have said, we regard as remote; but it is
well to leave nothing to conjecture. Beyond
this is a considerable fund which will be al¬
lowed in reduction of premiums falling due in
the current year and for accumulation.
We congratulate the directors and officers on
the exhibit made. It is to be commended as
showing a just, healthful and consistent
growth which will further endear this . Quaker
institution to its many thousands of members
throughout this country.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
n
Contractor William J. Patterson, of Chest¬
nut Hill, will build a large lumber storage shed,
50x96 feet, which he will build on the west side
of Prospect avenue, 205 feet east of New street,
in the Twenty-second ward. The shed will
be constructed with yellow pine posts, trusses
and a roof. The exterior will be inclosed with
galvanized corrugated iron nine feet high
from the ground, and the remainder will be
inclosed with slats, similar to other lumber
sheds. The shed will be built for Jesse
Roberts. The estimated cost is $1,200.
The Council of Allied Building Trades held
its annual meeting on the 25th inst., and
elected officers to serve for the new term.
There was no clash of opinions on any ques¬
tion before the Council, and the meeting
elected the old officers by practically a unani¬
mous vote. The officers elected were as fol¬
lows : President, PI. Joseph Brrdley; Vice-
president, M. Collins ; Secretary , R. T. Mit¬
chell ; Treasurer, Thomas Maguire ; Sergeant-
at-Arms, Harry Hawkins ; Trustees, E. W.
Beers, Walter Maclntire and Harry Scott.
Builder Charles B. Prettyman, Broad and
Catherine streets, will at once start to put up
twenty-two houses and two stores and dwell¬
ings, in the Thirty-ninth ward, to cost $125,-
000. The houses will each be three stories
high, and they will be erected on the east
side of Broad street, between Porter and
Shunk streets. These will have brick and
brownstone fronts. The stores and dwellings
will be built at the southeast corner of Broad
and Porter streets and at the northeast cor¬
ner of Broad and Shunk streets. All of the
structures will have fiat slag roofs and be
heated by hot air.
Contractors Thomas Little & Son. 1222 Clo¬
ver street, secured the contract and started
work at once on improvements to csst $7,200,
at 1123 Walnut street, for W. W. Frazier,
and at the northeast corner of Twenty-third
and DeLancey streets, for Nathan Trotter, to
cost $5,800. The plans for the Walnut street
work were made by Architects Furness,
Evans & Co. They show a new bulk win¬
dow, with beams and jam boxes to carry the
walls and interior alterations. The improve¬
ments are on the new line of Walnut street
The Trotter work was planned by Architects
Baker & Dallett, and it will consist of erecting
a new rear building, changing interior por¬
tions, and new copper bay windows on the
front and rear. Both previously noted.
On the 23d inst. Councils Committee on
Surveys visited old Christ’s P. E. Church and
vicinity to gain the necessary information to
act intelligently on the ordinance now before
that body concerning the betterment of the
historic church from destruction by fire. A
Citizens’ Committee were also present to urge
reasons for the passage of the ordinance. If the
proposed changes are made, the building will
pe clear of access from Filbert street on the
north and Church street on the south; a new
street will be laid out from Church to Filbert
at the rear. The plan, which is embodied in
an ordinance authorizing the changes, also
provides for the tearing down of a strip of
buildings fronting the west side of Second
street from the church to Market street, to
give a better view of the historic spot from the
south.
The contract for laying the new high pres¬
sure water mains to protect the business cen¬
tre of the city against fire, bids for which were
opened on Monday last, were given to the
Hoffman Engineering Company, the lowest
of the two bidders. Neither the bid of the
Hoflinan Company nor that of its only com •
petitor for the work came within the $300,000
appropriated. To overcome this it was decided
to eliminate from the contract, as it will be
given the Hoflman Company, that part of the
work required under the specifications to be
done on Arch street, between Tenth and
Broad streets. The Hoffman Company is pre¬
pared to begin work within a few days after
receiving the contract. The Mayor has sent
in to City Councils for an appropriation for
repairs to bridges, $150,000 ; also $10,000 for

lows : For new school buildings, Thirty-sixth
section, $72,000 ; Thirty-third section, $72,-
000 ; Twenty-second section, $25,000 ; Twenty-
seventh section, #60,000 ; Eleventh section,
$30,000. For additions to schools, Twenty-first
section, to the Wissahickon school, wings to
the Baldwin school, $25,000 ; Thirty-second
section, addition to the Camac school, $15,000.

ing the Northwest Grammar School, $6,500 for
properties condemned adjoining the Wharton
school.

THE RECORD AND~GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section.
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and ship ards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Haidware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is jmt
now cutting a wider swath than all the Ro; al
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And you will use no other.

PHILADELPHIA, vVED’Y, FEB. 6, 1901.
If au example of expeditious American
home construction work should be given in
any of the big European cities, it would cer¬
tainly surprise their citizens to witness the
rapidity of the American mechanic when at
his best and working under an incentive.
Peter S. Vaukirk, a Paterson, N. J. builder,
recently wagered that he could build and com¬
plete a two-story brick structure in five hours.
Work was commenced at 1 P. M. on last Sat¬
urday. In one and a-half hours the walls
were up. At 4 P. M. the structure was com¬
pleted. It was roofed and ready for a tenant
fifteen minutes before the five hours had ex¬
pired and it required a force of 75 men to do
the work.

Plans for Porto Rican school houses are
being drawn by students of the Architectural
Department o’f the University of Pennsvl-
vania. Several days ago Dr. Brumbaugh,
Commissioner of Education for Porto Rico,
wrote Professor Laird, head of the Architectu¬
ral Department, requesting him to have the
students draw plans tor the new school houses
which the United States Government proposes
to erect on the island. Professor Laird imme¬
diately put the students to work. The plans
will be perfected in a few days and sent to Dr.
Brumbaugh for his approval. The general
style of the plans will be somewhat similar to
those of American school houses. They are
to be not more than two stories in height.
They will be built of stone and wood aud will
vary in size, according to the population of the
neighborhood in which they are built. In
San Juan, Pouce, and other cities six and
eight-room school houses will be erected, while
in the suburban districts four rooms will be the
usual size. Especial Attention will be paid to
sanitary arrangements, and in cases where the
amount of ground will permit, flower gardens
will be laid out. The average cost of the
school houses will be less than $10,000.
A number of general contractors have re¬
ceived plans and specifications for the con¬
struction of B. F. Keith’s new Chestnut street
theatre, which will be built on Chestnut
street, west of Eleventh street. Architect
Albert E. Westover, of New York City, who
made the plans, will superintend the work,
which, it is estimated, will cost $395,000. The
theatre will measure 118.1|xl29.3 feet. A
complete description of the proposed play¬
house has already been published in these
columns. The specifications, which accom¬
pany the plans, provide for concrete founda¬
tions, cement, mortar and concrete work,
brick work, iron, steel and cast steel, ex¬
panded metal floors, plastering, cut stone and
granite. The builders who will take sub-bids
for the work are Doyle & Doak, 1509 Sansom
street; William Steele & Sons, Witherspoon
Building; George F. Payne & Co., 401 South
Juniper street; W. A. and A. E. Wells and
the George A. Fuller Company. Stephen
Girard Building; Roydhouse, Arey & Co.,
1208 Fidelity Building; Stacy Reeves & Sons,
J. E. & A. L. Pennock, 605 Walnut street. It
is quite probable other contractors will bid on

The concentration of the American Bridge

instant revised the plan of Rhawn street,
Fraukford, widening it from 50 to 60 feet, the
extension being made on the south side of the

while from the latter street to Frankford road

A Timely Suggestion
The careful, prudent use— not the abuse— of
Bailey’s Pure Rye
so thoroughly braces and invigorates the system that
the weather s sudden changes have no bad effect on
those who use it. Its unrivalled purity aud admitted
excellence for medicinal purposes entitle it to be classed
among the foremost products of American distilleries.

An opinion was filed by Judge Penrose, in
the Orphans’ Court, on February 1, to the
effect that the sale of the Hotel Lafayette, be¬
longing to the Morro Philips estate, is to take
place unless a more advantageous offer should
be obtained within thirty days. The matter
was argued recently in the Orphans’ Court in
banc on exceptions to the report of James C.
Stillwell, the master, who heard the testimony
and who recommended that the hotel should
be sold to Wesley F. Pike, for $1,250,000, as
proposed by the trustees of the estate. The
master’s report directs that Mr. Pike shall pay
$2o0,000 of the purchase money in cash, the
remaining $1,000,000 to be capitalized in the
form of ground rent to be reserved out of the
premises and to yield 4 per cent. The Girard
Trust Company, as trustee, is to enter $2,500, -

along the line of the proposed improvement
on the question of damages arising from the
widening of that thoroughfare. Au ordinance
passed Councils several months ago directing
the Director of Public Works to confer with
the owners of property along Delaware avenue
and ascertain the amount of damages that
are likely to be incurred in making the im¬
provement, aud endeavor to. effect an adjust¬
ment of the same. A conference on the sub¬
ject was held on the 4th instant by the Direc¬
tor aud Chief Webster, of the Bureau of
Surveys, with Vice-President Voorhees and
Chief Engineer Hunter, of the Philadelphia
& Heading Railway Company, and Joseph D.
Ellis, representing the Knickerbocker Ice
Company; David M. Ellis aud Alexander
Kerr, all property owners, but no conclusion
on the damage question was reached. When
the adjustment of the claims has been reached,
a report, showing the amount of money that
will be needed to condemn the property, will
be prepared and forwarded to Councils, and
an appropriation to pay for the same will be
made by those bodies.
An important decision has been rendered by
President Judge Pennypacker, of Common
Pleas Court JS’o. 2, last week, in the litigations
which have been pending for several years
between the Philadelphia i'rust, Safe Deposit
and Insurance Company, trustees of the estate
of George W. Conarrhoe, deceased, Maria C.
Vinton, Andrew E. Boruot and others, com¬
plainants, aud Constautiue G. A. Coder and
Herman E. Bonschur, defendants. The de¬
fendants are owners of the properties 1541,
1539, 1537, 1535 and 1533 Chestnut street, re¬
spectively, all of which were originally owned
by Thomas Estlack in 1829. At that time the
width of Chestnut street was 50 feet. Estlack
in making the subsequent conveyances of the
separate lots by which the defendants became
the present owne-s, provided that Chestnut
street should be enlarged on the north side by
throwing out a strip of ground 6 feet in width
and extending the full length of the frontage
on Chestnut. In 1896 Coder removed the
brick building at 1541 Chestnut street and
began the erection of the present building, the
front of which is 1 foot south of the north liue
provided for in Estlack’s deeds. This action
of Coder was followed by Bonschur rebuilding
at 1533 out to the same line. In the mean¬
time the complainants bad built the two inter¬
vening properties, Nos. 1535 aud 1537, on the
line marked out by Estlack, and the effect of
the defendants’ encroachments was to leave
the complainants’ stores in a recess of a foot or
more, which interferes with their display of
goods. The Judge finds that there was prac¬
tically a dedication of the strip of ground by
Estlack, which the city accepted. He there¬
fore concludes that the defendants should be
directed to remove that part of their buildings
which infringes on the highway.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section .
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and shipyards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Hardware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is just
now cutting a wider swath than all the Royal
Purple in Christendom.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And ) ou will use no other.

Some Portland Cements may show a high tensile strength at a short period,
and yet he so defective that the work done with them will disintegrate with age.
This is due to imperfect composition. The Dyckerhoff brand is invariably of correct
chemical composition, and the work done with it is invariably strong and absolutely
durable.

PHILADELPHIA, vVEP’Y, FEB, 13, 1901.
N. (£ G. Taylor Co. ’s Tinplate Works.
N. & G. Taylor Go., tinplate manufactur¬
ers, have just erected at their tinplate works
in Philadelphia, a large and commodious
machine shop, complete in every way, with
the most modern machinery, turning lathes,
drills, shapers, forges, emery wheels, etc.
They have also lately added two tinning
stacks, making now twenty-five in all. Their
tin house is acknowledged to be in its complete
equipment, the finest in the world. They are
running to their full capacity and report a
most excellent business in all their depart¬
ments. They have also given out the contract
for an additional building for their assorting
and warehouse department, which will give
them much greater facilities for prompt hand¬
ling and shipping goods. The recent large ad¬
ditions to their rolling mills at Cumberland,
Md., necessitate the above improvements.
The “ Mercer ” Steam And Hot Water
Boiler.
The H. B. Smith Co.’s “Mercer” Boiler,
while a great favorite in the trade, is more es¬
pecially so with those who were fortunate in
giving it the preference at the time of selection
and who by practical daily experience in cold
weather know its value and reliability better
than all the theorists under the sun.
Hot water heating with a “Mercer” boiler,
especially for residences, is a revelation and
those who are ignorant of its wonderful effi¬
ciency in distributing a uniform heat to all
parts of the house, however remote, can form no
proper idea of its many advantages.
The “Mercer” boiler is so simple in con¬
struction and so thoroughly free from complica¬
tion that any child that can care for a small hot
air furnace can control it without the least dif¬
ficulty with sufficient radiation. It is an im¬
mense fuel saver and the temperature of the
water is so easily maintained that it requires
no forcing. The heat is free from fluctuation ;
this means that a uniform heat can be main¬
tained for an indefinite period, and with water
circulation the house will remain warm for
hours after the fire has been extinguished.
With the H. B. Smith Co.’s “Mercer” boiler
and John C, F. Trachsel ,230 Arch street, to in¬
stal the plant, there will beno room for guessing
as to the result. We know whereof we speak
through experience as well as editorially.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Twentieth Century
has commenced under the most happy auspices
for our American commercial and manufacturing
interests.
Congratulations are in order, and we earnestly
extend ours to those identified with the building
interests of this section.
As all roads use to lead to Rome, so now all
roads lead to the Yankee shops and forges, mills
and shipyards, factories and farms of this great
Republic.
We are a large part of this immense proposition,
and we congratulate ourselves that the Russell &
Erwin Building Hardware is made in the country
that heads the procession in the march of nations.
The Royal Purple may be a good thing for the
Kings and Princes of the old world, but the
Yankee’s forge, with its smut and grime, is just
now cutting a wider swath than all the Royal
Purple in Christendom*.
With increased facilities we are better prepared
in 1901 to meet the popular demand for our pro¬
ducts than ever before.
Our great desire is to have you for a patron of
the Russell & Erwin Building Hardware. Buy it!
Try it! And you will use no other.

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, FEB. 20, 1901.
J. Turley Allen’s little book on plaster¬
ing is a veritable eye-opener for those who
write specifications, for it is very evident if
Allen is right, and he has been at the business
long enough to find out the correct way to do
plastering, all the specifiers are wrong. Get
the book and get posted before writing
another specification; is our advice.
Any effort to legislate our real estate as¬
sessors and the Board of Revision of Taxes
out of office, should be met with vigorous
opposition.
The present system of assessing real estate
values has been in use since 18% and has
given perfect satisfaction to real estate owners
in every particular, and any change which
will make it a part of the political machine
will prove both vicious and unsatisfactory.
The department has been well managed,
and while the assessors may seem unreason¬
able at times all complaints are patiently con¬
sidered and fairly decided regardless of
politics by practical business men who, while
courteous to all, do their full duty to the city,
and this much cannot be said of some of the
other departments.
The Bullitt Bill, which was passed in 1885,
did not change the present system of assess¬
ing real estate because there was no room for
improvement, and this cogent reason which
held good then holds good now.
Architect Notes.
The contract for a handsome two-story
granite stable in the rear of 1605 Allegheny
avenue, for John P. Mathieu,has been awarded

linger. The building will measure 56x80 feet,
and it will contain a carriage house, stalls for
four horses, men’s rooms and a hay loft. The
contract calls for the latest .improved stable
equipment, hardwood finish throughout, cop¬
per lanterns, hot water heating, electric light¬
ing, a driveway leading to the stable from
Sixteenth street and an ornamental iron fence.

tracts for improvements to cost $3500 at 754
North Twenty-fifth street, and at 607 and 609
Sansom street. The work on Twenty-fifth street
will be done for P. Reiner, and it will consist
of changing a dwelling into a store, putting

interior alterations. The Sansom street work

forming a coal vault and elevator hoist, and
putting in an iron stairway to the basement.
The work will be done for Joseph Morwitz,
according to Architect Jacob Herold’s plans,

J. Horace Cook, architect to Board of Edu¬
cation of this city, has on boards in his office

lows: One for colored children at Penn and
Pulaski streets, Germantown; one at Fifty-
second and Pine streets; one at Wissanoming

The “T Square Club,” an organization
composed of architects of this city, at a meet¬
ing held last week, discussed the bill now
pending before the State Legislature, which
authorizes the expenditure of $1,200,000 per
annum for five consecutive years, or $6,000,000
for the purpose of completing the present
State Capitol building at Harrisburg. The
following resolutions were drawn up and
copies sent to Governor Stone and other
officials: Whereas, It is fitting that the
dignity and culture, as well as the wealth and
power of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl¬
vania should find adequate material expres¬
sion in the official seat of Government; and,
Whereas, There is before the General As¬
sembly a bill authorizing the expenditure of
$1,200,000 per annum for five consecutive
years for the purpose of completing the pres¬
ent State Capitol at Harrisburg; and Whereas,
The pending legislation appears not to make
provision for the proper consideration of the
many interests involved, nor for the well-
advised use of the funds, which the measure
appropriates; now therefore, be it Resolved,
That the T Square Club, as an association of
architects and as citizens of the State of Penn-

sylvania, believing that the mode of proce¬
dure which shall insure the best results
practically, financially and artistically can
only be decided upon by a commission com¬
posed of architects of the highest professional
standing, together with the most able of
officials of the State Government, do hereby
most strongly protest against an expenditure
apparently so disproportionate to the original
cost of the building, and in an indefinite
manner so uncertain of gaining a satisfactory
architectural result.

project, there is not the least doubt but what
the construction of the proposed improve¬
ment will be carried into effect. The com¬
mittee directed the secretary to notify the
Fairmount Park Transportation Company to
expend the 2 per cent, of its gross receipts in
the construction of a wall at the curve near
Strawberry Mansion and in the construction
of stone steps at the bluff at Freedman’s
avenue.
At a meeting on the 13th inst. of the Port
Wardens’ Committee on Improvement of
Delaware River Wharves, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company made application for per¬
mission to extend Pier 48 i\orth Wharves, to
the Wardens’ line. The committee, it was
said, was not aware of the real object to be at¬
tained. Pier 48 is south of the Sbackamaxon
ferry, the slip being the property of the city,
while to the north is Pier 49, which belongs to
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The location of
Pier 48 is just at the bend of the river, and
the lines of the upper piers are at an angle
with those lower down. The Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Company, of which Adolph
Seigei is one of the prominent members, and
who intends to erect a sugar refinery, owns
Pier 46 and half of Pier 47. It has a permit
to extend its lower wharf to the Wardens’
line, granted in 1897, and has already begun
construction. Were the upper pier, No. 48,
built out to the same line, there would be but
25 feet between them at the entrance, while
the average beam of the sugar carrying
steamers ranges from 36 to 50 feet.
In the annual appropriation to the Bureau
of City Property lor the current year there is
an item of $250,000 for the purchase of sites
and the erection of fire and patrol stations
and bath houses, in different sections of the
city, and the question has arose whether the
apportionment of the same will devolve upon
the Financial or the City Property Committee
of Councils. Members of the two bodies
claim that the apportionment of the fund
belongs to the respective committees, and
unless a satisfactory settlement is reached
there is likely to be a clash before the expira¬
tion of the present Councilmanic year, the
first Monday in April. At the present time
there are thirteen bills pending in Councils

to tixiug its cost at the present time.
The contracts for the construction of the
Roxborough filter beds reservoir and the lay¬
ing of extra mains made necessary by the
increased water supply, were awarded by Di¬
rector Haddock, ot the Department of Public
Works, to Daniel J. McNichol, for the lump
sum of $898,716 29. Of that amount $229,-
083 29 was for the rive filter beds and the
reservoir for the storage of filtered water,
while $669,633 was for the mains. These bids
were received and opened on February 11. As
Director Haddock found it necessary to include
100 cubic yards of concrete, not provided for
in the original specifications, the McNichol
bid was made $229,083.29, adding the cost of
the additional concrete.
The bank building, No. 721 Chestnut street,
which was formerly occupied by the Chestnut
Street National Bank and the Chestnut Street
Trust and Saving Funds Company, was
bought on the 25th inst. by the Quaker City
National Bank for $107,500 The purchase
was made through the Girard Trust Com¬
pany as trustee for the Powers estate, which
secured the building after the banking and
trust company’s failure by forecloseing a
mortgage of $100,000 on the property. The
purchase was concluded after negotiations
lasting several months. The Quaker City
Bank will transfer its headquarters to its new
home inside of two weeks. The price is con¬
sidered very moderate. The Quaker City
National Bank has had quarters at No. 706
Chestnut street since 1890, but of late has
been greatly hampered for lack of room.
At the last meeting of City Councils action

ME RECORD AND GUIDE
#/ the Consensus
of opinion stands for anything the outlook for
1901 is extremely good.
While the year is young and may prove full of
vagaries before its completion there is more than
one certainty.
So long as the present rate of exports continues
the whole country will be sure to stay “ dead to
rights ” regardless of other influences.
Our grain and meats and iron mean our thrift,
our energy and our prosperity, and it is out of
these our buildings and ships and railroads grow.
This is labor and trade, and commerce for a
certainty and if any fellow can suggest a more
cert tin- certainty except it be the super-certain
excellence and popularity of the Russell &

is welcome to the floor. Buy it ! Try it and you

A meeting of the Board of Governors of the
Germantown Cricket Club was held on the
26th of February to decide upon the feasibility
of erecting three new buildings at Manheim,
to consist of a new wing to the main club
house, a building for ladies and juniors and a
swimming pool. To make those improve¬
ments would cost $40,000, of which $30,000
has already been subscribed, and it is ex¬
pected that by the time the board meets next
month the total amount will have been raised.
The swimming pool will be a feature. It will
be 30 feet wide by 80 feet long. During the
winter the pool will be floored over and used
as a cricket practice shed. W hen floored over
the shed will be about 40 by 100 feet. The
new wing will consist of a men’s building, 40
by 60 feet, and three stories high, with a
basement. It is to be erected at the southern
end of the present club house and connected
with the latter by an enclosed passageway.
The new wing will be devoted to dressing
rooms and 500 lockers for the men who use
the pool and cricket shed, and will connect
with the latter by means of an underground
tunnel. All the buildings will be built to con¬
form with the present club house. A pretty
driveway will separate the two club houses, so
that the main entrance to the big hall can be
reached. This work was very fully noted in
this journal more than one year ago. Plans
by McKimm, Mead& White, architects, New
York city.

Some time ago we noted plans by Architect
Hales & Ballinger, 1200 Chestnut street, for a
large operation of dwellings, 206 in number,
the cost of which will be $394,000. These wrill
be erected in different sections of the city.
The largest operation will be erected in the
Kensington district, with fronts on Allegheny
avenue, Rorer, E and Hartwell streets. This
will comprise 128 two-story Pompeiian brick
and stone trimmed structures. The owner’s
name is withheld for the present. The houses
will have fronts of 14 and 16 feet. Some will have
porches and others will be built flush with
the building line. This operation of dwell¬
ings, when started in the near future, will be
pushed rapidly to completion. They will be
modern houses, to contain the latest improve¬
ments and conveniences, including hard wood
finishings, open plumbing, electric gas light¬
ing, tiled bath rooms, hot air heating, etc.
Several contracts were let on the 2d inst.
by the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, all
of them going to local contractors. Ryan &
Kelly, No. 8 South Broad street, have secured
the work of erecting a new frame signal
tower at Glenside, on the North Penn Rail¬
road, covering the new double tracking from
Glenside to Hillside. Charles Nolan secured
the contract for the extension to the mason ary
for the main line’s third track from Birdsboro
to Monocacy, which is to be completed early
in the spring. Another contract went to P.
McManus for the grading and masonary
needed for the additional tracks that are to be
laid at West Lebanon, on the Lebanon Valley
brauch, and for the Cornwall Road crossing.
He also has the contract for taking down and
rebuilding the masonary for the two span
bridge on the Wilmington & Northern Rail¬
road to cross the Schuylkill below Poplar
Neck. This bridge is being constructed by
the Phoenix Iron Company.
No additional bids being received at the
Orphans’ Court, for possession of the Lafayette
Hotel up to 3 o’clock the 4th inst., other than
that of $1,250,000 recently made by the Wide-
ner-Elkins syndicate, and it being unlikely
that any further bid3 would be made later in
the day, the big hotel property has virtually
passed into the hands of the syndicate. The
hotel belongs to the estate of the late Moro
Phillips, and when up for sale by order of the
Orphans’ Court some time ago a Mr. Peck,
believed to represent the Wideuer-Elkins
interests, bid $1 ,250,000 for the property. This
being thought an inadequate sum, the prop¬
erty was withdrawn. Subsequently Judge
Penrose rendered an opinion denying the
petition of heirs for an injunction against the
sale of the hotel, but stipulating that it would
be held open for thirty dpys for an advance in
price. The time limit expired as above. The
present lessee of the hotel is L. H. Smith,
with a term of four years yet unexpired.
Common report has it that the present hotel
property will be torn down and the Laud
Title Office Building will be extended to San-
som street.
As previously noted in these columns,
Builder Frank D. Williams, who purchased
the old Methodist Home, and the surrounding
grounds, at the northeast corner of Thirteenth
street and Lehigh avenue, will soon tear down
the old Home, and as soon as the weather
permits, will begin work on the erection of
houses. The houses will be put up on Somer¬
set, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Silver and Selzer
streets. The two latter thoroughfares will be
cut through. Forty- five of the houses will be
two stories high and the remainder will be
three-story structures. They will have Pom¬
peiian bricks and stone trimmed fronts, with
porches, and be fitted up with hard woods,
tile work, electric and gas lighting, the latest
plumbing, etc. Mr. Williams is also ready to
put up five three-story porch front houses on
the south side of Westmoreland street, east of
Sixteenth street, in the Thirty-eighth ward.
These will be similar in construction to the
houses noted above. The two-story houses
will contain eight rooms, and the three-story
structures ten rooms. The estimated cost of
the work is $170,000.

If the Consensus
of opinion stands for anything the outlook for
1901 is extreme^ good.
While the year is young and may prove full of
vagaries before its completion there is more than
one certainty.
So long as the preseat rate of exports continues
the whole country will be sure to stay “ dead to
rights ” regardless of other influences
Our grain and meats and iron mean our thrift,
our energy and our prosperity, and it is out of
these our buildings and ships and railroads grow.
This is labor and trade, and commerce for a
certainty and if any fellow can suggest a more
,4>r certiin-certainty except it be the super-certain
excellence and popularity of the Russell &

PHILADELPHIA, WBD’Y, MAH. 13, 1901.
“Gentlemen, you are on the edge of
evil times. When the leaders of the
majority and minority parties can align
their followers on all measures for public
patronage and plunder, and when there
is a union of the representatives of both
parties from Philadelphia for every
measure, however vile and however
damnable, I say again, gentlemen,
you have come upon evil times.”
The above paragraph is an excerpt from a
speech made py the Hon. Thos. V. Cooper, a
member of the present State Legislature from
Delaware county, at a meeting of business
men held at the Bourse on Monday last, in
opposition to the bill providing for a change
in the Board of Revision of Taxes.
The vagaries of political life are, in this
instance, presented in a most violent form.
To have said that the tax-payers of the city
of Philadelphia in looking for a champion of
their cause upon the floor of either house
would have been compelled to appeul to a
gentleman, a member from another county
and a non-resident of the county of Philadel¬
phia, would have seemed absurd in face of
the vital interests at stake and the importance
of this city and county as a commercial and
financial centre.
Such, however, was the fact, notwithstand¬
ing Philadelphia’s prestige in the political af¬
fairs of the State, and this alone will add zest
and force to the full meaning of Mr. Cooper’s
words.
That the property owners of this city are,
and have been, for a long time on the “edge
of evil times,” is apparent to every intelligent
person in this community, but who is to blame
in face of the apathy and indifference and
strict party loyalty of the real estate owners
themselves?
Is the present administration in both city
and State a particle worse than many preced¬
ing ones? And while our municipal affairs
have grown from bad to worse, on whom does
the responsibility rest but on these self same
citizens and tax-payers, and, moreover, are
they not responsible for the singular (?) absence
of a champion upon the floor of either house
who was elected from their own city and by
their own votes even now when their own
safety is at stake?
There were 258,685 dwelling houses in this
city on January 1, 1900, and right here in this
bit of reliable information is expressed the
value of the Board of Revision of Taxes a s it
is at present organized, for without its present
ability to make its selection of bright, intelli¬
gent and capable real estate assessors rauch
information would not have been available,
for, if men with a political pull are to do work
of this character under the supervision of
those who have even more pull, our experi¬
ence with such things, as the gas works, tell
us that it will not be done at all.
Among these 258,685 dwellings of all kinds
there are 129,884 one and two story, or, in
other words, suitable, decent and sanitary
habitations for 649,420, or over one-half of the
entire population of the city and county.
These small dwellings are mostly owned
and occupied by our working people, and this
does not include the large pumber who own
and occupy three-story dwellings.
From this it will be seen that any change in
the Board of Revision of Taxes, together with
the evils resulting from the change, such as
an increased rate of taxation or an increase in
assessed value will fall upon our working
people, and who can predict the results which
will surely follow.
Our pride and glory as the city of homes, as
the single American city, as a most orderly
city, as a result of this home-ownership are
the things we have built on. They are not
grains of sand to be washed away by dirty
politics. They are as of rocks of adamant,
for they are the incentives which make men
work and save, and who are they that are
bold enough to overturn them?
Smith & Davis Co., artificial stone pave¬
ments and floors and concrete work, have
removed their office to 201 Weightman Build¬
ing, 1524 Chestnut street.

$14,000; also eight two-story houses, each 14x
40 feet, on the west side of Twenty- first street,
south of Toronto, at a cost of $11,200, and one

feet, at a cost of $1700.
It is said that work will soon commence

city, probably between Twelfth and Fifteenth
and Locust and South streets, to be fitted up
as a bachelor apartment house. The plans
will provide for single rooms or suites, with
bath rooms attached, fine interior finish and
all modern conveniences.
Plans have been submitted to the Building

Terra Cotta Company at Wissahickon avenue
and Juniata street, Nicetown; for the five-story
and basement brick factory for Leas & Mc-
Vitty, at Orianna and Vine streets, and for
the seven-story apartment house, the
“Tacey,” at Thirty-sixth and Ludlow streets.
The Independence National Bank and Gir¬
ard National Bank have consolidated their in¬
terests and will hereafter be known under the
tit.e of the latter, on Third street, below Chest¬
nut. Francis B. Reeves will be the president

The plans of the Pennsylvania Railroad
with reference to New York City are far-
reaching. First, they involve the building of
extensive wharves at Greenville, on the west
side of New York Harbor, the establishment
of a freight ferry, which will carry whole
trains to Bay Ridge; the rapid hauling of traf¬
fic around Brooklyn to Bush wick, and thence
over a new railroad to Hell Gate bridge to a
connection with the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad.
Work has been started by Contractor Thomas
Reilly on the erection of the $17,000 parish
house at the northwest corner of Westmore¬
land and G streets for the Church of the As¬
cension, Rev. D. J. Broughal, rector. The
building will be three stories in height and it
will measure 36.4x66.10 feet. The structure
will be constructed of Port Deposit granite,
with a peaked slate reof, on the lot measuring
75x180 feet. Architect Howard Hager made
the plans. The building will be heated by
steam.
Councils’ Highway Committee last week
apportioned the $750,000 appropriated for re¬
paving streets. The wards in which such
paving will be completely removed, according
to apportionment, are the following: Second,
Third, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth,
Twentieth and Twenty-first. The number
of square yards still to be repaved is 1,633,192,
but the money provided will enable only
the repaving this year of less than 300,000
square yards.
An operation of seventy-four dwellings is
being estimated on in the office of Allen Wick-
ersham, care of George W. Marter, Ninth and
Walnut streets. A local trust company is
backing this project, and plans call for two
and three story buildings, measuring 16x40

tween Sixty-first and Sixty- second streets.
Fronts will be of fancy brick, with stone
trimmings, and laundry, pantry, kitchen and
toilet room fixtures will be provided.
The building at 1414 Arch street has been
secured by the Grand Fraternity, of which
Frederic Gaston, 501-6 Girard Building, is
President. Competitive plans will be called
for in a short time for remodeling and im¬
proving the building and fitting it up for uses
of the Fraternity. These alterations will in¬
clude a lodge and meeting rooms, a large
banqueting hall and fine interior finishing and
furnishing. The estimated cost of these
changes is about $20,000. The building is
now occupied by the Neff College of Oratory.
At Wissahickon, Phila., the Osborne Apart¬
ment House Company, of Philadelphia, has
bought the large property on Ridge avenue,
opposite Terrace street, and will erect a large

three-story brick store and dwelling, at the
northeast corner of Roxborough avenue and
Pechin street, in the Twenty- first ward, for
Dr. J. S. Woodruff. The structure will meas¬
ure 19x69.3 feet, and the lot measures 23. 6x
117 feet. The first floor will contain a store,
private office, reception hall, dining room,
kitchen and sewing room; second floor, guests’

bond style, with terra cotta trimmings, cor¬
nices and a slate roof. The first floor will
contain two large dining rooms, kitchen and
pantry. The two upper floors will be divided
into four large sleeping rooms, toilet and bath
rooms. The building will be finished in
chestnut throughout and it will be heated by
steam. Mr? Dietrich submitted Architect
Louis C. Hicman’s plans to the Bureau of
Building Inspection on the 6th inst. for the
new two-story foundry, 55x78 feet, which he
will build at 1517, 1519, 1521 and 1523 Spring-
street for William F. Potts’ Son & Co.
Preparations are being made for the con¬

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
If the Consensus
of opinion stands for anything the outlook for
1901 is extremely good.
While the year is young and may prove full of
vagaries before its completion there is more than
one certainty.
So long as the present rate of exports continues
the whole country will be sure to stay “ dead to
rights ” regardless of other influences.
Our grain and meats and iron mean our thrift,
our energy and our prosperity, and it is ont of
these our buildings and ships and railroads grow.
This is labor and trade, and commerce for a
certainty and if any fellow can suggest a more
cert lin-certainty except it be the super-certain
excellence and popularity of the Russell &
Erwin Mfg. Co.’s Building Hardware, he
is welcome to the floor. Buy it ! Try it and you
will use no other.

PHILADELPHIA. WED’Y, MAJEt. 27, 1901.
The Anniversary of the Trades1 League.
Ten years ago a few earnest business men,
fully realizing the railroad and other discrim¬
inations against their city and the apathy and
indifference with which their fellow citizens
looked upon these abuses, organized the
Trades’ League.
Among the active spirits in the small coterie
which represented the inception of this now
powerful organization were Howard B.
French, Thomas Martindale, W. Foulkrod
and Mahlon M. Kline.
To enumerate the many hard and pro¬
longed battles of the Trades’ League in the
interests of the city as well as in the enlarge¬
ment of railroad and shipping facilities, would
occupy more space than we can spare, but
the Trades’ League is now full of fighting
blood and any wrong, however great the cor¬
poration that inflicts the wrong against the
city’s interest, it must wage a warfare against a
combination of intellectual force, business
shrewdness and courage as well as persistent,
indefatigable determination without an equal
among all the business organizations In the
United States.
The Hot Water Bag in Home Heating.
A person would have to talk a long time to
convince the average mother or trained nurse
that the hot water bag was a senseless and
useless adjunct to a home or sick room.
If the hot water bag, with its limited scope
of usefulness, is good through its retention and
elimination of heat, wherein do the iron hot
water bags, known as radiators, when properly
and judiciouslv distributed and a volume of
hot water circulating through them through
the influence of a scientifically constructed
boiler, leave room for doubt as to that being the
proper method for heating buildings?
The analogy may be open for criticism, but
there is absolutely no room for adverse criti¬
cism as to the practical value of the hot- water-
bag idea for heating purposes whether the
same be ol iron or rubber.
The Pierce, Butler & tierce Manufacturing
Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., and manufac¬
turers of steam and hot water boilers and rad¬
iators, one of the largest concerns of its kind
in the country, has issued a booklet under the
title of “Common Sense Heating.” It so
thoroughly treats its subject matter in both a
scientific as well as in a practical way that it
really merits a place in one’s library.
Its twenty-seven pages are all interesting
and they are neither prosy nor dull reading.
This booklet can be had for the asking from
Mr. Wm. H. Peterson, the company’s Phila¬
delphia representative, Master Builders’ Ex¬
change, 24 South Seventh street.

cost in reconstructing a building damaged by
fire when the same is incurred through build¬

The Difference
between the civilized and the uncivilized man
has been epitomized by a celebrated writer in
these few terse words :
“One makes things ; the other finds them.”
A man need not be a collegiate to see at a
glance which is which.
What a vast multitude of things have men
made since the age of finding them passed away.
The progress of man in making things is so
well defined that it can be followed step by step,
and what a long flight of many steps it is from
the birch bark canoe of the wild man to the
modern five day steamer of the present day.
From the shady nook or the cavernous rock of
the savage to the stately and monarchial iron
skeletoned twenty- story building of the present
day with its costly woods and polished marble,
its beautiful and symetrical highly polished hard¬
ware reflecting back the rays of golden sunshin e
into every nook and corner, giving lustre and life
to all that makes up the massive structure.
It is easy to recognize the hardware we mean ,
for there is no other so good, so beautiful, so
durable as that made by the

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
The Difference
between the civilized and the uncivilized man
has been epitomized by a celebrated writer in
these few terse words :
“One makes things ; the other finds them.”
A man need not be a collegiate to see at a
glance which is which.
What a vast multitude of things have men
made since the age of finding them passed away.
The progress of man in making things is so
well defined that it can be followed step by step,
and what a long flight of many steps it is from
the birch bark canoe of the wild man to the
modern five day steamer of the present day.
From the shady nook or the cavernous rock of
the savage to the stately and monarchial iron
skeletoned twenty- story building of the present
day with its costly woods and polished marble,
its beautiful and symetrical highly polished hard¬
ware reflecting back the rays of golden sunshine
into every nook and corner, giving lustre and life
to all that makes up the massive structure.
It is easy to recognize the hardware we mean,
for there is no other so good, so beautiful, so
durable as that made by the
Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co.
S. E. Corner Fifth and Commerce Sts.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
223
Some Portland Cements may show a high tensile strength at a short period,
and yet be so defective that the work done with them will disintegrate with age.
This is due to imperfect composition The Dyckerhoff brand is invariably of correct
chemical composition, and the work done with it is invariably strong and absolutely
durable.

PHILADELPHIA, WBD’Y, APRIL 10, 1901
Considerable speculation is under way as
to Petty’s Island, on the Jersey shore in the
Upper Delaware river. Rumor has it that it
is to be purchased by an English syndicate
for shipbuilding purposes, for which it is said
it is well adapted. The tract embraces about
300 acres. It is highly probable that the
Cramps’ Shipbuilding Company will prove to
be the purchasers, notwithstanding the specu¬
lation.
The Italian Marble Mosaic Co.
Fully in keeping with its reputation for
good work, the Italian Marble Mosaic
Company, 481 Spruce street, this city, has
issued a blotter on the reverse side of which is
a picture in artistic black and white shading
of the new United States Mint, in which this
company did a large share of the mosaic
work, including marble and Terrazzo mosaic
floors, ceilings of gold glass mosaic with
marble mosaic borders in the lobby, first floor.
This is the first time that work of this kind
has ever been done in this city and the con¬
tract in its entirety was the largest ever
executed in Philadelphia.
This work establishes beyond all question
the resources and ability of the Italian Marble
Mosaic Co., of this city, to do the most
intricate and elaborate work of this character.
The Master Builders’ Exchange.
Philadelphians are entirely too indifferent
to; the many objects of interest which
are maintained from year to year by the busi¬
ness men of the city, solely on the broad prin¬
ciple of contributing to the welfare of the
public.
The stranger is singularly impressed with
the importance of these institutions and their
impressions are not only lasting but reflect in
a hundred ways as pleasing episodes in a
fruitful visit to ©ur city.
The Master Builders’ Exchange on North
Seventh, above Chestnut, while but a modern
affair as compared with our many other
attractions, is not the least important, as it
epitomizes in a single breath what can be
accomplished by a few earnest and enter¬
prising business men, who, while possessing
great faith in themselves, have even a greater
faith in their city and its people.
Under the roof of the Master Builders’ Ex¬
change, through the persistent efforts of
Superintendent Wm H. Matthews, there has
been gathered what is perhaps the most im¬
portant collection of things which enter into
the construction of buildings to be found in
the United States, making as a whole an
exhibition embracing all that is useful as
well as beautiful and as entertaining as it is
instructive.
It is a remarkable fact that the greatest sat¬
isfaction is always expressed by owners, who
have visited the Exchange before building, at
the vast amount of information they glean
from such visits, or as one gentleman very
tersely put it to the writer : “My visits to the
Master Builders’ Exchange placed me in con¬
tact with men and things that I did not know
before were on God’s earth, and my house at
Merchantville shows it at every angle.”
The officers are: Wm Conway, President;
Wm. S. P. Shields, Vice President; Will¬
iam Harkness, Secretary.

THE f RECORD AND GUIDE
The Difference
between the civilized and the uncivilized man
has been epitomized by a celebrated writer in
these few terse words :
“One makes things ; the other finds them.”
A man need not be a collegiate to see at a
glance which is which.
What a vast multitude of things have men
made since the age of finding them passed away.
The progress of man in making things is so
well defined that it can be followed step by step,
and what a long flight of many steps it is from
the birch bark canoe of the wild man to the
modern five-day steamer of the present day.
From the shady nook or the cavernous rock of
the savage to the stately and monarchial iron
skeletoned twenty- story building of the present
day with its costly woods and polished marble,
its beautiful and symetrical highly polished hard¬
ware reflecting back the rays of golden sunshine
into every nook and corner, giving lustre and life
to all that makes up the massive structure.
It is easy to recognize the hardware we mean,
for there is no other so good, so beautiful, so
durable as that made by the
Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co.

PHILADELPHIA, WED’ Y, APRIL 24, 1901
About the same tune that City Councils
passed an ordinance permitting the Pennsyl¬
vania Railroad Company to construct a bridge
across Market street, John Wanamaker, in
the interest of his proposed new store build¬
ing at Thirteenth and Market streets, had
submitted an ordinance to give him the right
to construct a tunnel under Thirteenth street,
in order that connection might be made with
an electric light and power plant he intended
to erect in the rear of 1226 Market street.
The Wanamaker ordinance has been pig¬
eon-holed and is dead to the world for the
present anyhow. Of course this was done
for political reasons for it is fair to assume
that our City Fathers who would permit the
unsightly bridging of the city's streets, would
not stop to quibble over such a small thing
as the tunneling of a single street in the in¬
terest of a magnificent business enterprise.
The consequences arising from this and
other petty annoyances are that Mr. Wana¬
maker has become so thoroughly disgusted
that it is doubtful if he will again ever attempt
a building improvement of any kind in Phila¬
delphia even including the proposed Grand
Depot, for which plans have been made and
the foundations partially prepared.
Mow right here we feel that we have aright
to enter an earnest protest against any inter¬
ference on the part of City Councils with a
business enterprise of this character, for the
expenditure of over four millions of dollars
in a single building operation in this city rep¬
resents an influence more potent and tar
reaching in its beneficent opportunities for
the employment of labor than all the good the
small fry politicians in or out of Councils
could accomplish in a century.
If it is impossible for these highly- honored and
greatly reverenced gentlemen to understand
that they are obstructing the city’s growth
and progress, and that petty political spite is
neither dignified nor sensible, then it is in¬
cumbent upon Mayor Ashbridge to apply his
official lash in such a way as to end this dis¬
gusting nonsense.
We care nothing for Mr. Wanamaker’s
political issues, but we hold that in face of
City Councils’ unprecedented liberality in
granting street bridging privileges to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and the
yet to come greater generosity in the way of
“proper consideration” to an ordinance to be
presented, making the city responsible to the
tune of $275,000 for property damages on ac¬
count of this self-same bridge at Fifteenth and
* arket streets, it’s about time that somebody
spoke out in meeting against a political em¬
bargo upon a private building enterprise and
we do it.
Mr Wanamaker has said publicly that he
will never again have laid in his interest one
brick on top of another in Philadelphia, and
this means, if it means anything, that the
much talked of new grand depot store, at
Thirteenth, Market, Chestnut and Juniper
streets, will not be built.
The thinking class of our readers will read¬
ily comprehend the influence this will have in
preventing the use of great quantities of
structural iron, brick, lumber, cement and
other construction material, all of which is
the product of labor and which does not in¬
clude the enormous amount of labor which
would be required in the woik of construc¬
tion.
Architect Notes.
A. W. Leh, South Bethlehem, Pa., has pre¬
pared plans for a Sunday school building for
the Moravian congregation of Bethlehem. It

and additions to the old Wheeler mansion,

are to utilize the premises when completed for
a first-clai s family hotel, the ground floor to
be used as a fashionable restaurant, as pre¬
viously reported, but architect’s name omitted
by request. Same architect has sent out
plans for estimates for a sixth floor brick ad¬
dition, 27 by 59 feet, to the store building of G.
A Schwarz, 1006 Chestnut street. Sub-bids
for brick work, plastering, new stairs, slag
roof, painting, etc., are wanted.
Architect Henry D. Dagit, 435 Chestnut
street, has completed plans for a handsome
church edifice to go up at Point Pleasant, N.
J., for St. Peter’s parish. Rev. Daniel Lutz
is the rector. The structure will be one story

ing many changes and improvements to the

once of a wing for a chemical laboratory.

provements contemplated provide for the re¬
arrangement of the entire place, and when

needed. Same architects have completed

The syndicate which intends erecting a
great steel plant near Paulsboro, N. J., has
notified the owners of the site that the price
demanded will be accepted. This site, which
was once considered by the New York Ship¬
building Company, has a frontage of 7000 feet
on the Delaware river, just below Lincoln
Park. Work on the plant, it i3 believed, will
begin shortly, and will cost nearly $3,000,000.

stead, Pa., will be superintendent of the plant,
which he says will be the largest of its kind
in the world. The capitalists interested in
this project are also interested in the New

two companies will act in harmony, there
will be no direct connection between them.

Pierce, Butler & Pierce's New Catalogue.
To fully comprehend the resources of the
big concerns whose energies are devoted to
the construction of steam and hot water boil¬
ers and radiators, one would have to wade
through tons of literature devoted to the sub¬
ject of house warming, the most important
of which are the elaborate and expensive
catalogues prepared with great care and
so thoroughly practical that a child can
understand their utility.
The Pierce, Butler <& Pierce catalogue has
just been issued. It contains about one hun¬
dred highly illuminated pages of superfine
paper, exquisitely printed and the engravings
are superb.
A picture of the works at Syracuse, N. Y.,
conveys to the reader an idea of the immensity
of this concern.

That indefatigable worker, Col. Jas. T.
Davis, Architects and Builders’ Directory for
1901, is out.
If the hundreds and more who yearly come
to this office for the address of architects and
builders would subscribe for this invaluable
book, they would materially contribute to its

For years the old hardware house of Edw.
A. Hollis, 1904 Market street, has justly mer¬
ited and received the confidence and patron¬
age of a large share of the buildiug trades of
this city and vicinity. Its strictly reliable
methods of doing business has gained for it
extended popularity, as well as a liking,
among its customers to trade there. Mr.
Hollis some years ago accepted the agency for
the Morse Patent Steel Wall Ties, a simple
but original and very practical appliance
made of steel wire, which is now being used
very successfully by masons and builders for
binding hollow walls, tying terra cotta work,
securing brick facings, anchoring marble or
jasper facings, bonding linings or strengthen¬
ing any form of mason work, the whole com¬
prising a system of bonding which hss
largely displaced former methods and forms
of construction. Mr. Hollis has pushed the
Morse tie until its sale lias become a large
factor in his extensive hardware business.

Sackett’s Plaster Boards.
In view of the many serious disappoint¬
ments arising from the use of imperfect as
well as improperly constructed plaster
boards, it is particularly pleasant to learn that
there is at least one in the market which will
not only meet every requirement, but which
will stand up under all conditions to the great
satisfaction of plasterers, builders and owners.
The Sackett Plaster Boards, while compara¬
tively new in this section, have been tried for
years in the best and largest operations in New
York and its vicinity, and there is not a
single instance in which the board has failed.
Messrs. Samuel H. French & Co., Fourth and
Callowhill streets, are the selling agents for
this section, and it must not be forgotten that
this old and reliable house will not endorse
any product, however positive the claim,
without knowing whereof it speaks. The
Sackett Plaster Boards represent a cleanly
wholesome, economical method, and will
surely meet with great favor in this section.
An Old Firm and Old Friends.
Philadelphia is noted for its old and well-
tried business firms more than any city in
the country. Among these old and reliable
concerns none command greater respect and
esteem than the paint manufacturing concern
of Felton, Sibley & Co., 136 to 140 N. Fourth
street. In these days of mixing things it is
something to know where straight paints and
oils and other things that are needed in house
construction can be purchased with confi¬
dence as to their purity. The above old re¬
liable firm merits its present popularity, for it
has justly earned it.

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, JUNE 5, 1901
For more than fifty years an English¬
woman (who is still living) has cherished a
little sheaf of letters written by Charles
Dickens. These charming letters show the
novelist in a new part — that of the successful
matchmaker. They tell the story of another
man’s courtship and show how7 the writer
spurred a faint heart into winuing a fair lady.
They will be printed— for the first time— in
The Saturday Evening Post for June 15.

“Sport Indeed
“ All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy,” and why does not this very old maxim
hold as good to-day as when it was written-
no one knows how many years ago?
“ Sport Indeed,” is a new book, by Thomas
Martindale, who, were it not for his periodical
outings amidst nature’s wilds in quest of
game and fish, could not do the work he has
been doing daily for over a quarter of a cen¬
tury without breaking. The work is doubly
interesting, because the author is one of our
own busy business men, who even spares a
great deal of his own time on matters of
public interest.
The author is just as practical in his hunt¬
ing episodes as he is in his business.
He does both well because the self-same-
well-balanced mind and physical vigor ar¬
range and manage both.
The moral is to avoid the everlasting grind,
and take an outing when you can get it— but
take it anyhow.

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, JULY 3, 1901
There is a wee bit of irony expressed in
the decided preference given by a Republican
administration to the architects of the great
Democratic city of New York in the selection
of architects to make competitive plans for
the proposed agricultural building to be
erected by the government at Washington,
D. C.
We do not know and we do not believe that
politics had a hand in the selection of six
architectural firms in New York and but a
single one, Cope & Stewardson, in Philadel¬
phia, but the iron is there and it hurts all the
same, and this after Philadelphia’s many
years of great majorities and devotion to the
cause of the Republican party.

Vertical Vent Closets.
•A new and important invention, as well as
an invaluable addition to sanitary plumbing,
is the use of a large vertical pipe placed so far
above the water line in the hopper that even
in case of an overflow the vent cannot become
clogged or obstructed in any way.
This not only assures a perfect escape for
obnoxious gases, but it facilitates ventilation,
because of its direct connection on a broad
scale of the hopper to the vent stack.
The size of the vertical vent is, as can be
readily seen, superior to the old small vent
closets, because it can be thoroughly scrubbed,
if ever necessary, as easily as the hopper itself.
Messrs. Pierce, Butler & Pierce, of Syra¬
cuse, New York, manufacturers of several
steam and hot water boilers and radiators, are
the manufacturers of this new vertical vent
closet, which has become a great favorite in
New York building and plumbing circles.
The new closet requires no more room than
the old and badly ventilated closets.
A descriptive circular has been issued by
Messrs. Pierce, Butler & Pierce devoted en¬
tirely to the vertical vent closet, which archi¬
tects and others can obtain for the asking.

1901
Semi- Annual Report
OF
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
AND
TRANSFERS OF REAL
ESTATE IN PHILADELPHIA
From January 1st to June 30th, inclusive, together
with the mortgage and ground rent incum¬
brance on the properties transferred.
3017 new buildings of all kinds, costing (estimated),
exclusive of the cost of the land, $12,764,070,
an increase over the construction work
of the same period of last year of 1330
buildings and $4,346,343 in the
amount invested.
1322 alterations and additions, costing $1,983,000,
against 1065 last year, costing $1 ,597,500, an
increase of 257, while the amount expended
is $385,500 greater. Total expenditures
this year, $14,747,070, or $4,731,843
greater than the total for the first
six months of 1900.
The above statement represents a greater change in
local conditions than seems apparent from individual
observation.
While some men will wisely deplore this renewed
activity in building and attribute it to the recklessness
of adventurous individuals backed by Trust Compan¬
ies, we are inclined to the contrary belief, because we
know that Trust Companies are rigidly conservative as
a result of past experience, and have not for a long
time been inclined to entertain schemes that were not
in the hands of capable men.
In fact, we have been assured by those who know
that the great bulk of the building capital this year
does not represent the funds of Trust Companies, but is
in fact, furnished through private sources.
It must be conceded that there are men of sound
judgment who have built largely this year, and who
are neither reckless, adventurers or wild speculators.
There are two sides to this, as to all other questions,
and in all sincerity we ask why the men of sound judg¬
ment and experience who have kept a tab on the rapid
occupancy of our small dwellings which were by the
thousands unoccupied a year ago, should not build ex¬
tensively if the capital to do so was available.
We have seriously and earnestly endeavored to settle
440
this question of empty houses as a part of the above
proposition, and we are prepared to assert that condi¬
tions in this respect have changed to a greater extent
than most people will believe.
Of course, the way things have been going in the
past, the acquisition of 2758— the product thus far this
year— small dwellings to be sold or rented is no small
factor to face when one properly considers supply and
demand, for these are fully capable of meeting the
housekeeping necessities of the same number of fam¬
ilies, or an increase of population of over 13,000; but
conditions are different, and if anyone desires a better
basis on which to calculate the probable wants in the
housekeeping line than the marriage rate in a com¬
munity like this, he must go farther than the Real
Estate Record office for his data, for none better can
be furnished.
We are indebted to Chief B!rd of the Marriage li¬
cense Bureau for the information that there have been
over 6000 marriage licenses granted by him since Jan¬
uary 1, 1901, and that there were over 1700 granted dur¬
ing the month of June alone. There were less than
9000 during the whole of 1900, and that was the heaviest
for many years.
To us this marriage business is indicative of thrift,
growth, economy and prosperity, and inasmuch as it
was mainly the absence of these potent factors that
kept the dwellings empty for a prolonged and serious
period to the owners, they certainly meritlafge respect,
now that these self-same dwellings are generally well
occupied in all sections of the city, and even in the
textile manufacturing districts, whose business inter¬
ests are not as extensive as they should be at present.
Of course, rentals have not hardened nor could the
absence of buyers of small dwellings for investment be
more pronounced than at present, but the wholesome
curative influence of demand for use and occupancy
has set in, and while rentals may be kept down through
unjustifiable building, continued prosperity iai busi¬
ness circles and consequent continued occupancy is
bound to attract investors and make even prosperity of
this character as popular for investment as it ever
This is the natural sequence to improved conditions,
for it is mere rot to argue that .investors are creatures
of prejudice to an extent that ignores the stability at¬
tached to even the much derided small dwellings when
they will yield a net yearly interest greater than can be
found elsewhere.
There is no doubt that some sections are growing to
the detriment of others, and why not? Are people to
be condemned for seeking pleasanter homes and better
environments? Are parsimonious owners reasonable
in expecting to hold their tenants in spite of the de¬
plorable condition of their properties ?
Dwellings of the better class are renting well in most
sections, but there are a few exceptions which are
somewhat puzzling.
We find that while deposits in our Saving Fund Asso¬
ciations are better than last year, they are not gaining
in the same proportion; this is no doubt owing to the
increased cost of living. For the last two months the
withdrawals have about balanced the deposits; this
would, we think, indicate that the working classes are
not saving as much money as last year in some direc¬
tions and that there is an absence of steady employ¬
ment in some circles.
There is considerable inquiry for desirable manufac¬
turing and business sites, but land is generally held at
high prices, with little disposition on the part of own¬
ers to make advances to operative builders.
Central properties find ready purchasers at fair
prices.
There seems to be a growing preference for house¬
keeping flats, and the opinion is held by a few that this
style of house will become popular in this city and
prove a good investment.
There is no perceptible improvement in the demand
for small store properties, and in face of the improve¬
ments going on among tne big department stores it
would seem that the future for small stores outside of
the great business centre was settled indefinitely.
The architects are generally well employed; in fact,
we have heard complaints about the difficulty in ob¬
taining draughtsmen. The concensus of opinion
among them is, that the outlook is extremely favor¬
able.
The future for the whole country is bright enough to
gratify the most optimistic. The wheat crop is being
harvested, and is consequently beyond danger. With
a yield estimated all the way from six hundred to
THE RECORD AND GUIDE
seven hundred and fifty millions of bushels and an ex¬
port market unimpaired , unless it be in Russia, there
is not a shadow of a doubt as to results for 1901. In
Germany, if reports are correct, the crop is a failure,
and it is stated that France will need 40,000,000 more
bushels of wheat than it did last year.
The cotton crop, notwithstanding its 10,000,000 bales
last year, will show a large increase this year.
The London Mail says, in speaking of inroads the
American manufacturers are making in the English
markets, says:
‘‘The invasion goes on unceasingly and without
noise or show in 500 industries at once. From
shaving soap to electric motors and ft-om shirt¬
waists to telephones the American is clearing the
field. To-day it is literally true that they are selling;
American cottons in Manchester, pig iron in Lan¬
cashire, tin plate.in Cardiff and steel in Sheffield.
It only remains for them to take American coal to
Newcastle. Modem office furniture, from the desk
to the door mat, is nearly all American in every
up-to-date establishment. One sits on a Nebraskan
swivel chair before a Michigan roll-top desk, writ¬
ing one’s letters on a Syracuse typewriter, signing
them with a New York fountain pen and drving
them with a blotting sheet from New England.
The letter copies are put away in files manufactured
in Grand Rapids. The value of typewriters brought
to England from New York and Boston is con¬
siderably over ^4000 a week. Three years ago some
cheap -American blouses were imported, and last
year the greater part of the English ready-made
shirt-waists trade went to America. One English
firm alone sold American blouses for women to the
value of ^57,000. Now that they have annexed our
blouse trade, the Americans are entering seriously
into the hosiery business here. They have found a
very profitable line in men’s braces, and in high-
class underclothes they are likely for a time to
have things much their own way. Take another
allied trade. A little time since English boot
manufacturers began to feel the pinch of American
competition. They faced the situation and began
to improve matters. In many cases they sent over
for American boot making machinery, which is
admittedly superior to any formerly used here.
Their effort to check the rising American tide has,
however, so far proved in vain. In 1898 America
' sent us shoes to the value of ^"72.714; in 1899, ^147,-
944; last year the figures had risen to ^228,957.”
An analysis of our tables show that there is one less
of the office buildings over two stories, but the cost of
the 2 erected this year is $162,000 greater than the cost
of the 3 erected last year.
There are 106 industrial buildings against 64 for the
same period of last year, a gain of 42, while the invest¬
ment is greater by $1,387,746. This magnificent gain in
industrial buildings voices all the justification that is
needed for the increased number of dwellings erected 1
this year. The increase in industrial buildings is as
follows: Warehouses 14, and the amount expended is
$1,034,200 greater than for the same period last year
Dye and dry houses 2, and $15,690 greater investment.
There are 2 more factories, but the investment is
$255,425 less. Engine and boiler houses 5 more, and
$15,650 greater investment. There are 2 more brewer¬
ies and bottling houses, and the investment is greater
by $29,850. There are 4 more foundries and shops, and
the investment is'$!05,02i greater than the cost of those
built for the first six months last year. Stores (not
stores and dwellings) number 20 this year and but 7 in
our last year’s report. The investment in the store
buildings this year is $442,760 more than the 7 cost last
year.
Operation work this year, two and three-story dwell¬
ings, number 2758, or 1210 more than for the first six
months of last year. There are 2158 two-story and 600
three-story dwellings. West Philadelphia is to be ac¬
credited with 627 of these, the Thirty-fourth, with its
425, having been surpassed by but a single ward in the
whole city, that being the Thirty-third, with 504. The
principal gains in two-story dwellings are the First
Ward, with 3; Second, 3; Sixth, 10; Twenty-first, 10;
Twenty-second, 41; Twenty-third, 64; Twenty -fifth, 162;
Twenty -seventh, 9; Twenty-eighth, 114; Thirtieth, 5;
Thirty-second, 6; Thirty-third, 346; Thirty- fourth, 336;
Thirty-seventh, 46; Thirty-eighth, 63; Thirty-uinth, 216;
the Forty-first, 8.
The 600 three-story dwellings are 92 more than for the
same period of last year, and West Philadelphia Is
responsible for 284 of the total. The principal gains are
in the Second Ward, 4; Third, 4; Eighteenth, 6; Nine¬
teenth, 3; Twentieth, 3; Twenty-first, 24; Twenty third,
' 7; Twenty-fourth, 15; Twenty-seventh, 16; Twenty-
ninth, 3; Thirty-second, 11; Thirty-fourth, 37; Thirty-
fifth, 9; Thirty seventh, 21; Thirty-ninth, ■ 24; Fortieth,
4; Forty-first, 2. The principal and most serious falling
off from last year is in the Thirty-eighth Ward, with its
loss of 32, and the Twenty-second, with a loss of 31.
The Twenty-eighth is i4!short; Thirty-third, 24.
There are 33 more stables than last year’s report, and
the investment is $49,500 more.
There are 3 more churches, but the cost of the
churches is $4,037 less than the 4 erected last year.
Miscellaneous buildings are 20 more, but the invest
ment in these falls short of last year’s $17,729.
It will be seen that the alterations and additions
which we consider of sufficient importance to record
number 1322 this year against 1065 last year, an increase
of 257, while the cost is greater by $385,500. The most
of the expenditures in these this year was in improve¬
ments to industrial and business plants.
The transfers of real estate to June 30 inclusive this
year number 6768, or 376 more than for the same period
last year. The values of the properties transferred is
$42,867,708.17, while last year’s transfers for the same
months was $34,649,137.49, the increase being $8,218,-
570.68.

and in 1900 for the same period the mortgage incum¬
brance was 39.7 per cent.; in 1899 it was 38 per cent.; in
1898, 36.8 per cent.; in 1897, 39 per cent.; in 1896, 34.5 per

in 1890, 20.5 per cent.; in 18&9, 21 per cent., and in 1888,
19.2 per cent.
The ground rents amount to $373,825.21, which on a
six per cent, basis represents a further incumbrance on
the properties transferred this year of $6,230,420.16.
Auction sales of real estate amouut to $2,028,191.00, or
$230,746.74 less than they were for the same months last
year. The total incumbrance on the real estate sold at

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, JULY 81, 1901
Philadelphia has always been generous
to her Commissioners of Fairmount Park, and
municipal liberality in this instance has been
repaid many times over in the development
of the vast and varied resources and ad¬
vantages of one of the world’s greatest and
most beautiful public pleasure grounds. But
the estimate of over $1 ,100 000 for maintenance
and improvement of the Park next year is
somewhat staggering. The Commissioners
should find the golden mean of expenditure
and stick to it.— Philadelphia Record.
Old Delaware, while still justly proud of
her traditional blue hen’s chickens, whose
gameness won many a dollar when cock
fighting was legalized by custom, has now
more reason to be proud of her “Wilmington
Morning News,” which, for modern go-ahead
progressiveness, not only ranks with the
average morning daily of the big cities, but
wholesomely outranks many of them, not¬
withstanding their advantages over our little
Wilmington contemporary.
On Saturday last the ‘ Morning News”
issued a forty page edition, which, in many
ways, was a revelation as well as a surprise,
for it not only revealed hundreds of big busi¬
ness enterprises which, were it not for the
“News,” no one would have known of their
existence, and the surprise was in the ease
and nonchalance with which Ned Hoopes
engineered the big edition in hot weather
without wetting a frill or losing an hour’s
sleep over it.
Why Was This Thus?
A few hours before the Allenhurst Inn was
burned at Allenhurst. N. Y., a well-filled
pocketbook was sealed up in an envelope and
placed in the safe, where after the fire every¬
thing was found in perfect order except the
pocketbook. The large envelope containing
the wallet was still sealed, but, after tearing
it open, they found that the large leather
pocketbook had crumbled into ashes. The
bills, jewelry and papers which were in the
pocketbook, however, were uninjured. Every¬
one who saw the pocketbook marveled that
the fire had had no effect on the package but
had destroyed the leather pocketbook within
it. — Fire and Water.

THE RECORD AND GUIDE
523
Some Portland Cements may show a high, tensile strength at a short period,
and yet he so defective that the work done with them will disintegrate with age.
This is due to imperfect composition. The Dyckerhoff brand is invariably of correct
chemical composition, and the work done with it is invariably strong and absolutely
durable.

latter city he was so well pleased with it that
he determined to make it his home. He,
therefore, lost no time in establishing himself
as an importer of paints at 83 North Front
street. Desiring to make himself indepen¬
dent of the foreign sources of supply, it was
not long before he purchased a large water¬
power and tract of land across the river Lela
ware in the State of New Jersey, now known
as the Gibbsboro Paint, Color and Varnish
Works, where he commenced the manufac¬
ture of such products as won for them a high
reputation as a standard of quality throughout
the United States and Canada.
He was highly esteemed by all who knew
him, being a man of strict probity, sound
judgment, business ability, prompt, straight¬
forward and upright in all his dealings; his
high attainments, genial and courteous
nature, together with his manly traits, making
him many friends and producing warm at¬
tachments.
He took an active interest in the early de¬
velopment of the far-famed seaside resort—
Atlantic City; indeed, it owed its first great
start and “boom” to his foresight and energy
in publishing and making known its many
advantages while he was a director of and
subsequently the president of the Camden and
Atlantic Railroad. In 1890, or thereabouts,
iu conjunction with others, he endeavored to
enlist the interest of Philadelphians in an un¬
derground system of railways, which, if the
plans they submitted and published in
pamphlet form had been put into practice,
would have proved greatly to the benefit of
the city and the comfort of its citizens.
He was a member of the Union League, the
Art and Young Republican clubs, the Society
. of the Sons of St. George (and its president
for some years), the Albion, the Transconti¬
nental Societies, the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick, the Five O’Clock Club, the Society
for Organizing Charities and various other or¬
ganizations; also a member of the Trimble
Lodge, A. Y. M., of Camden, N. J.
Mr. Lucas was a member of Grace P. E.
Church in Philadelphia, and for many years
one of its vestrymen, until failing health
compelled him to resign. He was ever a
most liberal giver of his funds to everything
connected with it. He took a great interest
in the aged inmates of the Hayes Mechanics’
Home and they manifested their keenest
pleasure m his frequent visits, as he always
had a cheering word for each and evidenced
a lively concern and regard for all their little
“hobbies.” He was a man of the most gen¬
erous and noble'impulses; the active co-opera¬
tion in all that tended to the comfort and
well being of his employees endeared him to
every one of them. At every Christmastide
they manifested to him their appreciation of
his kindness of heart by presenting him with
some testimony of their esteem and love for
him.
In 1854 Mr. Lucas married an American
lady, who bore him nine sons and six daugh¬
ters; twelve of these children are now living.
Mrs. Lucas, assisted by her husband, took an
active interest in the development of silk cul¬
ture iu the United States, and one of the lady
managers and delegates to the Columbian
World’s Fair. She was well known to Phila¬
delphians for her womanly qualities and
activities in all that tended to the uplifting of
the poor and lowly in her native city, as well
as for her lively interest in all matters pertain¬
ing to the Indians and Chinese.
Mr. John Lucas was bora November 24,
1823, at Stone, Staffordshire, England, and
although always an ardent admirer of his
native land, was a most enthusiastic adherent
of the land of his adoption, which he dearly
loved.

Rock of 25,000 Tons.
The largest solid piece of granite ever loosen¬
ed in a quarry in this country was separated
from its natural bed in the quarries of Crotch
Island, Stonington, a few days ago. Some
idea of its dimensions can be gained when by
careful measurements it was estimated to
weigh 25,000 tons. This enormous mountain
of granite is 325 feet long, 50 feet wide and 38
feet in depth. Months of careful work were
expended in loosening it from the pyramid¬
like mountain where it rests. — Exchange.

pital, $35,000 for the Hospital for Skin Dis¬

The following fairy tale is a clipping from
the “Architects’ and Builders’ Journal,” of
Baltimore. If Annanias was alive he would
hide his head for veritable shame and dis¬
comfort in the face of this Western brick-
maker:
WILL BUILD TILL HE FALLS.
“A bet has been made out West due to a
controversy as to the quality of the bricks
produced by a large brickyard there. The
proprietor and a contractor, himself a gradu¬
ate brick mason, got rnto a discussion, and as
the result a bet of $10,000 was made. The
builder maintained that the brick would not
sustain a column of 300 feet. He is to under¬
take the construction of a stack, and after it
reaches a height that ordinary workmen
refuse to continue on the stiucture, he will
himself continue it up until something gives
way. If the thing falls before it reaches 300
feet he wins: otherwise he loses. The stack
is to be six and one-half bricks square at the
base, with a square one-foot flue, up which
the bricks are to be conveyed. The builder
agrees to continue the stack until it falls, to
be at the top when the thing gives away, and
bets an additional $5000 he is not hurt in the
collapse. The loser is to pay for the bricks.”

PHILADELPHIA, WED’Y, AUG. 21, 1901
A nice question involving the liability
of insurance companies under peculiar con¬
ditions is being tried in the Pittsburgh courts
and it excites considerable interest not only in
fire insurance circles but among the owners of
large plants in manufacturing centres. Steph¬
enson^ Foster have brought suit against sev¬
enty-eight fire insurance companies in which
this concern held policies. On February 4th
last the firm’s building fell down, a fire oc¬
curred in mass of debris all of which was
consumed. The companies refused to pay,
as they think, justly, owing to the following
standard clause in the policies on which this
defence is based: “ If a building fall, except
as the result of a fire, all insurance on the
building or its contents shall cease.”
July exports were larger than in July of
any previous year, and the imports were
larger than those of July in any year since
1895. The figures of the foreign commerce
of the United States during the month of
July were completed by the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics recently. They show: Total im¬
ports of the month, $72,897,087; total exports,
$109,081,158.
Between 1860 and 1870 British railways
increased 510 miles a year. The present
yearly increase is 201 miles a year. In Japan
786 miles of railway owned by the J apanese
government earns one-third more yearly than
2942 miles owned by private companies. The
12 railway companies of England and Wales
employ between them 312,000 men. The
Scotch and Irish companies employ 40.000
men between them. Belgium has 29£ miles
of railway to every 100 square miles of sur¬
face. Great Britain comes next with 17 miles
and Germany third with 14 miles. The
American proportion is six miles only. The
art or science of reducing the weight of steel
cars to the minimum point and of maximum
loading capacity has produced a car weigh¬
ing 15 tons that will carry a load of 69 tons.
Such cars are being turned out rapidly in one
or two of the great steel mills of Pennsylvania.
Remarkable progress is being made in loco¬
motive construction by the increase of heat¬
ing space: Imagine an intense fire 47 feet
long by 50 feet wide and you have an idea of
the enormous heat required to create steam to
drive a locomotive. The heating surface of
some recently made engines of enormous
capacity is 2391 square feet.
According to the receipts of the local
Internal Revenue office for the month of July,
this year, the people of the First District,
comprising Philadelphia, Schuylkill. Berks,
Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and
Lehigh counties, are heavier beer drinkers,
smoke more and use snuff in larger quantities
than ever before. Internal Revenue Collector
P. A. McClain in speaking of the increase in
receipts of the local office, is of the opinion
that money is now more plentiful with the
general public than previously. Instead of
the decrease that was thought would occur in
receipts after the taking off of the Spanish
war laxes a substantial gain was made. The
total internal revenue collection for July, 1901,
was $1,062,489.89. This is a record breaker.
The number of stamps sold during July was
as follows: Cigars, $851,555; beer, $720,026;
documentary, $564,580; ‘ tobacco, $551,521;
snuff. $320,462; cigarettes, $252,035; proprie¬
tary, $92,326, and special rates, $1793. By these
figures it will be seen that beer is the most
popular commodity, while more snuff is sold,
according to the stamps, than cigarettes.
The total number of the following articles
manufactured in the First District during
July was: Cigars, 47,666,090; cigarettes, 3,059,-
850; barrels of beer, 348.474J; pounds of
tobacco, 134,562^; pounds of snuff 83.071R and
whiskey in barrels, 32,138 —Exchange.
Experiments with acetylene as a light for
lighthouses were tried during last April and
May. The first scene of the experiments was
one of the batteries guarding the entrance of
the harbor of Genoa, Italy. The result was so
satisfactory that they were repeated at the
expense of the inventor on a large scale at the
firstrate light of La Lanterna, the principal
light of the harbor of Genoa. The inventor
had to guarantee better illumination than that
given by the petroleum burners of the light¬
house, and a constant light, without smoke or
interruption, for fifteen hours at a time. The
offer was accepted. An apparatus, with four
separate generators, was installed, and for a
period of 1.000 hours, 100 days of ten hours
each, during October to January of last winter,
the lighthouse was worked with the new gas
without the slightest difficulty. At a distance
of forty nautical miles from Genoa is the elec¬
trical light of Tino, and it was observed that
while the Tino light could never be seen at
Genoa, the Genoa acetylene light was visible
at Tino. It is also stated that the annual cost
of maintaining the electrical installation of
Tino is $5,400, whereas, from the experience
gained at Genoa, it could evidently be sup¬
plied with acetylene for $40 a year.— Fire &
Water.
Two Important Articles.
Mr. William Allen White has just returned
from Lawton, where he went to write for The
Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, the
story of the ' ‘opening” of the Indian lands.
Mr. VV hite’s vivid account of the mushroom
city that sprang up in a night is of striking
and timely interest. Lord Balfour, of Bur¬
leigh, Secretary for Scotland, and Lord Rector,
of the University of Edinburgh, will con¬
tribute to an early number of The Saturday
Evening Post, of Philadelphia, a paper of
official significance on Carnegie’s Gitt to
Scotland. Lord Balfour is one of the trustees
of the millions Mr. Carnegie has given to the
Scotch universities.
Snow Formed at 103 Degrees.
During the extremely hot weather of the
first week of July, when the thermometer
registered 103 degrees in the shade, two bar¬
rels of gasoline were delivered in the yard of
the Health Department. One barrel was
placed in the shade and the other in the sun.
An hour or two later Secretary J. W. M.
Kiger happened to go into the yard, and was
astonished to see snow formed about the bar¬
rel that was in the sun. He gathered a hand¬
ful and took it upstairs to show the officials
in the office. The formation of snow in the
glare of sunlight when the thermometer
stood at 103 degrees in the shade was consid¬
ered something unusual. It was supposed to
be caused by the rapid evaporation of the
gasoline. —Exchange.
Company Says Investment in This
State is Unsafe.
Easton, Pa., Aug. 14.— Because they are
said to be dissatisfied with the political situa¬
tion in Pennsylvania, the directors of the In-
gersoll-Sergeant Drill Works will hold a meet¬
ing in New York city this week to consider a
proposition to remove their plant from Eas¬
ton . The gentlemen interested in the corpo¬
ration claim that the investment of capital
here under existing political conditions is
unsafe. The Ingersoll plant is Easton’s larg¬
est industry, employing 1500 men. Ex May¬
or William R Grace, of New York, and
other prominent capitalists of that city own
the controlling interest in the plant. The
company recently received an order for $400,-
000 worth of steam drills and compressors from
the Russian government, to be used in the
construction of a railroad there. The plant
will be moved near Plainfield, N. J., where
oue of the officers of the company resides,
and where they have been offered 100 acres of
ground free.— Exchange.
